Urged Upon Government
By Arthur S. Draper

LONDON, April 4.-British capital
and labor agreed to-day to urge the
government to introduce imme diately
legislative acts fixing a minimum wage
and the eight-hour day and forming a
national industrial council The de
clslon was taken at a meeting called
to consider the report Of the joint com
mlttee appointed at the industrial CON
terence held five weeks ago, at the
tlme of acute unrest.
Sir Robert Horne, Minister of La
Dor, accepted the resolution. intro
duced by Arthur Henderson for the
workers and seconded by Sir Allan
smith for the employers. promising
the government would do all in its
power to supply the legislative ma
chlnery necessary to put the principles
of the report into operation. Sir Rob
ert, who declared that Britain was al
ways the leader in industrial legisia-
tlon, said the document was the most
momentous in the recent history of
the country
Good Feeling Apparent
The employers supported the work
ers' demands for speedy governmental
action. A distinctive feature was the
marked good feeling between the work
ers and the employers and their com
mon spirit Of conciiation. Britain,
it appears, has taken a great step for
ward industrially.
At the morning session j. Il. Ciynes.
who moved an adjournment of the
conference to enable both sides to
study the joint committees report sep
arately. appealed to the Triple AL
nance to put It's great power behind
the movements.
j. II. Thomas, the raiwaynens presi-
dent. explained the attitude OF his
union, declaring it realized that Brit
aims greatest proble.r was the move
ment to settle industrial unrest and
reopen her exports, failing in which
he predicted disaster to the nation.
1t was apparent from the discussion
that the issue depended upcn the abi-
ity Of the moderate forces of labor
to win over the extremists rather than
straight battle between capital and
labor.
Labor Government Hoped For
Some labor leaders see visions of
an early formation OF {. labor govern
ment and arc working to that end, but
others prefer to move moro slowly,
perfecting their organization before
attempting control of the government.
Through Sir Robert Horne, Premier
Lloyd George announced that the gov
ernment would give sympathetic con
slderatlon to the conference report
Following a conciliatory course of
handling thc industrial situation the
labor representatives are receiving
every cons deration from Lloyd George.
Now and then I; leader tried to voice
opposition to conscription, but invari-
ably he was cut short by the chair
man, who precluded the injection Of
any political questions into the dis
cusSlor.
