Warning To Unions

Dundee, Nov. 8. The Labour Minister, Mr. Geo. hero rge Isaacs, told workers that "a spirit of intolerance" was showing its head in the trade union movement—"a spirit of in- tolerance which urges people to disregard the advice of their elected officers and take notice of | Irresponsible people outside who encourage them to unofficial strikes."

Mr. Isaacs cald that Britain was producing more than ever before in peacetime, and that was a fact that was not fully understood at home, and he was sure It was not understood abroad.

British workers are not lazy and are altting down waiting for someone to lend them money to buy their food. They are quite prepared, now as over, to work out their own salvation, he add.: ed-Router.
