 LONDON. Nov. 9-England which has been heCkled on every side ever since the armistice by strikes, be- lipves il ses the dawn of new day that promises solid labor condi- tiou foundation for the development of industry.
 Many things besides labor condi- tions have worked against the re- covery of maiufactureing in trade. But. given a more stable condition in the shops and among the ranks of the unions, business men are hope ful of meeting other obstacles.
 TURNING POINT LOOMS
 They believe that the turning point has arrived The ordinary citizen who thinks of strikes in the form of personal inconvenience, is hopeful rr mor" comfortable winter than he hos known in three years.

 The Prime Minister may on ucca- -ton give emphatic expression ,o what he wants To believe and whlt he wants the nation 10 believe. a. distinct from what he actually knows conditions to b" In this instance his measure of the situation is am ply supported by declarations of la bor leaders.
 LAST RESORT FOR STRIKE
 That the strike should he used as the last and not the first resort is the contention of J, II. Thomas. chief of tho National Union of Ratlwaymch made in a recent speech
 Herbert Smith. acting president of the coal miners. at the annual con y"ntion of the Federation, read a lee tu,- 10 his followers on the radical tactics which los, them public sym pqthy and which finally lnr, them the fight in the recent coal strike.
 The war left the miners with ali exaggerated sense of their power, he declared. By calling ont the saf- cty men tpump mem and breaking down the pits we lost public sym pathy. and today the miners are pay ing the price of their folly in mis- cry and idleness. We ruined our prospects of a good settlement by sticking to the wage pool. which the public feared was another form of nationalization."
 J. IT, Clyncs. labor's leader in the House of Commons and president of the Federation of General Workers. numerically the largest union in Brit ish. has followed with a warning to labor.
 POLITICAL WEAPON
 Recent industrial events" he de clarcd, have tended to restore the political weapon of labor to its pro per place.
 The belief that the strike weapon can accomplish anything has receded We should not be deceived into em- ploying the ruinous methods of phy- social force for obtaining. a mockery of working class conditions"
 These declarations to not mean that truce has been called in the in dustrial world. The Miners Fedora tioi proceeded from Smiths speech to outIinning a platform of demands, including thirty-hour week, Clynes proceeded from his peace thesis to an attack on employers for show ing no mercy in cutting wages while unemployment figures were high.
 But Britain hopes that such dec larations mean fewer strikes.
