Reviewing Old Conditions. Sir David went on to say that lio felt tlio


iiiectiiig should bo a little retrospective, aiio tliat it uould lie wise to review trade union work Iroiii tlio inception of the trade union eongreas sixty years ago. In that voar the lir.st trades union congress was field 'at Arm,, eliester, ami icprc.soiited biilv a few iieoiilo— eoiisiderably le.ss than Iialf li million- At that unio tiado.s unionists wore going tliroiigli a rough tmio. Some trouble had lakoii pl.ico at ShoflicUl and efforts wore being made to. break .up tlio organisatlon-s then e'lsting.


'Jo prevent tins occurring -a


conloroiico of leaders of trades unions wiis called, witli no idea of starting a niovoiiionfc :h bad grown to tlio dimonaions it bad done, but purely to organiso opposition to


siile oi iile and tlio represeiita'tive.s of tlie men on the otlier.


'J’iio ability of some of tiie


IS not iiecc.ssary to bo ubio to address tlioii- saiids of iieiiple. Tliat is ono fpialiiicatioii but it i.s nut everything that the trade uiilim leader iil the future ba.s to learn. He must luive the. eliaiiee ol a 'good cdueation and every (i]iportuiiity must be given to liiiii to make liimsell prolieiciit so tliat be can meet the be.st iieopio on tlie other side. I found that the eiupIo,ver.s freipicntly recognised tlieir wiiiit of ability and in quite a number of cases tlicy were reiiro.soiited bv bnrristei's ami men Iciiruod in tlie law. Those men were pitted against tho average trade union loader to plead the causo of tlio emplover i sa.' it IS unfair to exiiect tlio average work-' 'Uiiu, without nil opportumtv of good learn­ ing, to meet men o f that calibre- I do not iulvocato eompulsory arbitration but I dn consider that when negotiations break down, 'vo sliould considor tho possibility of nrbitra- lum proving bone'lcinl. No dispute -sliould take place without an inquirv-bv the Ministry of Labour. That would give
