CAPITAL AMD LABOUR-! , -!
CAPITAL AMD LABOUR-! M.- Mr. F. W. Gilbertson on I Collective Bargaining. Addressing a meeting of the Llanelly j Rotary Club on Thursday, when the Presi- i dent (Rotarian I). James Davies) occupied I the chair, Mr. F. W. Gilbertson, Pontar- da we, said in the relationship of e.apital; nnd labour the country was* undoubtedly I about to break quite new ground. Were I we going a step forward, or were we shortly going to be facPiÍ with a etep back- wards? Tracing the development of the relations between capital and labour, Mr. I Gilbertson said from the time when the man with the best brains and the greatest enterprise was able to command the capi- tal of those who saved monoy Bud.he be- came a capitalist, there was no fundamen- tal difference between the workman and his employer. They were all from the same origin-extraordinarily alike. They had many instances around them of work- men who had bpcome capitalists because of the development; of a certain bent of mind. They were suffering from fli» way in which the employers treated their work- incit 100 years ago, and they should take care that the next generation did not suffer through their faults ns employers. PROFIT SHARING. I The ideal, of course, was to work for the service of our fellowe, but he could not believe that, it could be more than an ideal j at present. They wanted to ree better 1 education, and to develop a higher grade of labour. Whether a share in the profits was going to appeal to the working class he did not know; he wished it would. The j difficulty was to make such a development attractive to the workman without the absence of the terrible risk so many epl- plovers had known in times of adverse eon- j ditions. It was easy to induce people to agree to sharing profits in prospJ'ol1 j times; it was quite another thing to get them to suffer loss in had times. All these things boiled down to the subordination of self.. | In the problems they had to solve in the future, they should do what they could to see that two motive powers lost nothing in their influence—patriotism and roligioi*. A good deal of active work was going on j to lessen their influence. COLLECTIVE BARGAINING. I Principles concerning which the United States were in a turmoil to-day had been secured in England for many years, -and in South Wales for many years more. It should be remembered, particularly in Llanelly, that the initiative in the forma- tion of a Conciliation Board in the metals trade came from the late Mr. Ernest Trub shaw, and the success that had attended collective bargaining in South Wales originated in the ConciJi:Üion Board. The I principle of collective bargaining was 1 absolutely vital, yet they would lose if the common s«mse of the English people did j not prevail. And when we saw nations rise and fall while Britain remained, we I could thank the principle of collective bar- I gaining and constitutional government for 1 it. Public spirit could only be fostered by the principle of collective bargaining. One of the best things essayed on behalf of the. Government was the welfar scheme now beginning to get4 to work in the industrial centres. By teaching the hoys of the works how to play games, they would take a pride in their club and their I works. All these things took time, and must not be hurried.

EX-SERVICE MEN'S j SOCIETIES.
EX-SERVICE MEN'S j SOCIETIES. To the Editor. Sir,—Ail ex-service men have cause to be thankful to Mr. Tom Locke Thomas) fo.r his contribution to last night's Leader," though it will not have the affect he so ardently desires. As an e; service man, I am under the impression that the great success of the D.S. and S. Federation is lar^eiy due to the fact that it is a non-political body. When we were called upon to enlist to protect all that we held dear we were not asked our political tendencies. Liberals, Conservatives, and Trade Unionists fought side by side, and ohoulder to shoulder, watering the Tree of Liberty with their very blood. Party politics did not hold us together on active service, it was something more deep and. bind- ing than that. And it is that some- thing," born in the midst of the perils and untold danger of war, that gires us now a bond of fellowship and brotherhood no political organisation ca.n provide. The D o. and S Federation knows and I w.ants to know nothing about Party politics; it is purely and simply a body of ex-sivrvice men banded together to foster the spirit of true patriotism by using their collective strength to demand, and obtain, jus 'e for those who have •;acritieed and suilercd for their country's sake. Mr. Thomas need have no fwari about the future of the Federation, fori while that spirit prevail it can sail as with a fair wind through many tempests, and in rhe midst of waves- enjoy a white truly, S.

I It is pointed out by irresponsibleJ critics tha, what the eowt does is rael-ely causing people to liv" foet)ie- immorally, I and prevents sue:, people from regularis- ing their position.
