POLICY WANTED INSTEAD OF p a t c h w o r k .


Uocauso of labour discontent, continual


strikes, "ca’ canny” and industrial agitation generally, Great Britain cannot get a move on. Tlio trade depression cloud was beginnmg


to lift when the coal strike-or lockout-oamo tdoiig. Tlio stoppage cost too country miinj millions of money, it luis increased uiiemploj- meiit when unemployment would have been decreasing. Labour unrest, cousUmt figbpiib between nuuiiud workers, oapitahsU and uov- oriimciit, keeps too country back, deprctoes our standard' of living and loses our foreign


^*^The coal strike will bo settled—but Itibour unrest wiU not. Agitations and strikes will coiitimie. It is not in human nature to e^ peel eitlior labourers or orgamsors of rndustiy to do their best in tho circumstances, iherc is no igiUsfactioii in Uic present and no coii-


lidence in the future. ■\Vhat is toe trouble? T ho coal 'dispute waU


,lH) eiidcd-for a time. It will bo a Imporary sottlemoiil. 'J'he Government settles by com- promise end concession. It lias no clear ^bey tbut will destroy tho root c.'iup of unrest. It cun offer no assimuico of industrial peace. Kvery setUemeiit is a patchwork peace.


An Industrial Parliamont. It is ttic business of the Government, of


every wise Labour leader, of every publie- spiritod employer, ot every poUUcal economist to take steiw in time to prevent a recurrence of iTiese industrial cJilmnitics. Cun any()iio doubt Hat mneb ot the present trouble is due U, ■ too absence of any effective orgivmsation that can investigate in adv-ance industrial con­ ditions and toiidciioies, and formulate .a just and reasonable policy (asks '‘Lucerne m the


••Liverpool Courier.” )' 1£ such an organisaUon , , 1 — QxisU'iicc would liic Govomment


in a panic for economy have three moiitlis earlier than vra.s expccletl. the Hi'st Ihisli ot post-war oiithusiasm for


decontrolled coal


ment. lowed expire.


* #..1


Then this industrial parliamont was ;il i-o fall into a moribund tiUito and lo


it.-- .aai.1i«imnnf. VtiC til C A standing jKirluunLMit of industry, properly , . ,


constituted, could inquire publicly and inipar- tiallv and exiiertly into Uio root cau.ses of lab­ our unrest', into the relationship of industries to each other :uh1 to the nation, into produc- l-ion and wages and jirices iiml fortflgn trade. It could fonnulatc .sound policy. Ilefore wc can put an end to btriko» ami


by fighting—and fighting is wasteful. If I were Dictator in this country I would


try experinient5. I would Uiko one big indus­ try.— the rnilwny.s—and after ^ refonning


the Civil Service, would nationalise it-—for three, years. The mines I would run by joint conti’ol—by boards of coalowners and men, vrith representatives of the consumers on tho boards; while I should select another big in­ dustry for. an experiment in Guild Socialism. It might well be possible that in ono or


other of the undertakings the result would ho a relative failure. But my contention is^ that with labour unrest increasing, and without Nnllingnoss to work tho old system, the result | would l>e a failure even if tlie c.xporimont wvre not made. Under-production will increase.


Change—tOr Perish. CJolmnns, could he wi-itteu about the dangers


and defects of each system, just os there have been libraries written about tho defects of tho capitalist sj'stom. But we have got to find another industrial system that labour (hand and


brain) will do its, best under. That is why wo neod^a policy. Tho policy


to my mind should be to secure a real co-op* oration between labour and capital, with .tlic recognition of mutnal rights. What wo m^d, in fact, is Mutualism instead ot Capitalism


or Socialism. ^ Such an industrial reconstruction would bo


the biggest job any government or nation over mcklcd. Wc arc a* big enough people to Lickle it. And we’ve got to’ do it—or perish indus­


trially. -----------------
