BRITISH LABOUR MARKS TIME

London, Supt. 20, Unlike the stormy labour move- 'ment in the United States, the British trade unions are for peace at any price during this stage of world recovery.

The total number of working days lost by strikes and lockouts In Great Britain during 1988 was only 1,070,000 compared with 6,400,000 in 1932 and 8.290.000 in 1929. And this policy of studied peacefulness has continued thus far in 1934. Total number of days lost through strikes thus far is only. about half of the total at this time Inst year. This is a definite policy. though discussed. sparingly in the British labour press.

It appears to be based on the recognition of two strategic points, One is that with the prevailing heavy unemployment, strikes would he risky in any but the most skilled and highly organized trades. And the other point is that membership in British trade unions has declined from 6,510,000 la 1920-their peak |year-to around 3,400,000 in 1983. It seems to be felt that this declin ing tendency must be arrested before pitched battles on the old. time scale can safely be risked.

London, Sept. 17. A. P. Herbert's novel, "Holy Deadlock," does not exaggerate the "gross immorality and silliness” of England's rigid divorce laws, ac- cording to Mrs. M. L. Benton- Tiedeman, honorary secretary of the English Divorce Law Reform Union.

"English law permits divorte only for proved adultery,” she said.
