FORESEEN
IN UNREST
Premier Promises Measures
to Improve Conditions of
Workers; Legislation
Urged by King.

London, Feb. liking George,
in his speech from the throne to
the houses of parliament today,
urged the legislative bodies to act
resolutely In stamping out poverty,
diminishing unemployment and i'm
proving the health of the nation.
If industrial unrest continues the
consequences viii be grave to trade
and industry, Premier Lloyd George
declared in the house of commons
today. The government, he said.
would agree to any kind of an inves-
tigation into the causes of the un-
rest. Among conditions which the
premier thought had contributed to
unrest were the strain of four years
of war and the fear of unemploy-
ment.
Legislation Proposed.
The premier said that bills would
be introduced next week dealing
with housing, health, the revival of
rural life, land settlement for sol
diers, land reclamation and forest
alton.
Mr.. Lloyd George said there
would be plenty of opportunities f
employment if confidence was given
those responsible for starting indus
tries, and unless the cost of produc-
ton went so high that it reduced
the purchasing power of the COM
munity or put the country out of
the world markets.
Discussing housing conditions the
prenief referred to oYercrowding in
many districts which had been ag-
gravated during the war by congre-
eating in already crowded areas.
The government would do its best
to alleviate such conditions, and
hours Of labor, he said, already have
been fixed in industries involving
100000 persons.
Situation Declared Dangerous.
William Adamson, leader of the
labor party in the house of COM
mons, speaking today on the indus
trial situation, said it was almost as
menacing and dangerous as war it.
self. He said that the principal
labor amendment to the ad-
dress from the throne would relate
to the causes of industrial unrest.
Il hope" he continued, that no
attempts will be made to disappoint
the legitimate expectations of the
people. All section of the
people should understand that we
have reached the stage when 1--WE
have laid the cards on the table and
when the working classes win re-
