the first is that there should bo an
immediate reduction in food prices, the
increased cost of food to borne to

that there should be a better system

able to obtain wages In proportion
to their skill;; in many cases tho
skilled man’s wages were less than
those of tho unskilled. The require
ment of leaving certificates was re
ported as one of the chief causes of
dissatisfaction, but this restriction has
been abolished by an order of the
Minister of Munitions, effective Oc
tober 16, under which any munitions
worker may leave bis present employ-
men for other war work by giving a
week’s notice or st-ch longer notice
as is provided fo r his existing con
tract of servi-rr.
Dilution of labor and lack of con
fidence in the government growing
out ot tho surrender of trade-union
customs and the fear that promises
regarding the restoration of pre-war
conditions will not be kept, are given
employees. This . report otherwise
known as the interim report of the
reconstruction committee on joiut
standing industrial councils, l s repro
duced in full in tho bulletin under re
view. Regarding the settlement of
disputes various suggestions aro offer
ed, to tho effect that one central au
thority should bo constituted, that
local arbitration tribunals should be
formed, tint’- local commlssionrs with
technical knowledge to settle dis
putes should be appointed, and that
workshop committees should be cstab-
lished.
Our recommendations are that com
pensation under the Workmen’s Com-
pensation act should be Increased,
conditions will not be kept, are 8i'° a | announcement should be made ot
special attention. It Is stated that ^ gover nmenl’, policy a s regards
housing, that pension committees
tho irritation caused by the with
draws! of tho trade card scheme un
der the military service acts has sub
sided, but there remains much anxiety
regarding the working of the schedule
of protected occupations. All the e-
ports refer to to the lack of co-ordi
nation botwem government depart
ments in dealing with labor, and con
siderable complaint on account of the
delay in dealing with dispute* and
difficulty of securing prompt avrrrds
ls repoi ted.
Desides she more general causes
of industrial unrest certain causes,
such as inadequate bousing, liquor re
strictions, and industrial fatigue are
mentioned as acute in some -liatrictw.
Mention f, also made of lack of prope
organisation among the unions, I co -
■[derate treatment of women ss re
gards wages, delay In Srantfngpen-
sions to soldiers, and Inadequacy of
should have larger discretion In their
treatment of men discharged from the
army, that the recruiting system
should have most careful handling,
that the work of government depart
ments dealing with labor should bo
moro thoroughly co-ordinated, and that
when an agreement is drawn up be
tween represntatlves of employers’
federations and trade-unions it should
be binding on all In the trade coa-
ernod.
While the report shows very clear
ly tho prevalence and the natures of
industrial unrest in Great Britain, 't
at the same time indicates that ’’there
I, a strong feeling of patriotism on
the part of employers and employed
throughout the country and they are
determined [o'help the stole In Ms
present crisis.”
