MR. CLYNESTY WARNING

TO LABOUR AR

At the summer convention of employers and employed in con- nection with the Industrial League at Birmingham recently a paper was read by Mr. J. R. Clynes, M.P., on "Labour in its Relation to Industry." Mr. Clynes dealt. with many of the difficulties that have always stood in the way of complete amicable relationship between employers and employed, and referred to the healthy development of joint organizations and conciliatory methods in in- dustries."
