Late in the meeting Lloyd George
made speech, fervid in tone, on be-
half OF all the people OF the country.
Out OF the conference came a com
mittee of employers and workers.
men and women. to decide on hours.
wages and conditions. on unemploy-
ment and on the best method OF pro-
noting cooperation between labor
and capital. When the committee met
Lloyd George presided over 1t and
talked with straight words to both
sides.
1.-THE people are looking to you to
save the state and | want you to feel
that you are here trustees for the
whole country, for the millions OF
working people. for the employers,
and those whom you would not class
ify strictly in either category. but
who are all at any rate part of this
great land"
Even with these ameliorating in
fluences at work there was hard
struggling to avert a great national
disaster resulting from labor's discon-
tent The power of organized labor
Is greater in Britain than In any
other country. 1t was exemplified
by the combination of the mining in
dustry. the railway men and the
transport workers-known as the
triple alliance. A strike OF these three
bodies numering round about mil
lion and a half would have paralyzed
Britain from end to end.
This labor parliament is the out.
standing feature in the life Of Britain
today. It's functions were clearly set
forth in the words Of Lloyd George:
There must be a limit both ways
and what you want is to find where
the legitimate boundary is. That is
the case with wages and with hours
of labor He fiercely preached the
gospel OF common humanity. Civil
zation, unless we try to save 1t. and
save 1t together, may be precipitated
and shattered into atoms"
