Joint Industrial Councils
1t is proceeding on the assumption
that the "old order" has passed; that
the costly lessons Of the war must

The cornerstone Of the reconstruct

of trade union representatives and en-
ployers' Representatives in every
highly organized industry.
A great network Of joint councils
will cover all industrial Great Britain.

will be passed upon, by the factory
