DELUGE OF NEUVE CHAPELLES. WHAT BRITAIN NEEDS MS. ILSTB CEORCE'S APPEAL AT I BRISTOL — > SCARING THE SHIRKERS We "want a deluge of IN-en. I Chapeiies In another of his vivid phrases Mr. Lloyd George, in a speech at Bristol Saturday, which was cheered to the echo by a great gathering of employers and workmen, summed up Britain's urgent need of shells. He appealed again with special force to trade unionists to relax all regulations that hindered the maximum and most rapid output of shells When he came on the platform at the historic Colston Hall a great audience, numbering between 2.00tI and 3,000. Nse and cheered him with the utmost en- thusiasm. Representatives of firms from Chelten- ham to Cornwall who can help in pro- ducing war munitions and workmen in the trades concerned filled the hall, thou- sands of the ordinary public being un- able to obtain admission. Renewed cheering broke out when he began to speak. Somo of the more striking of his state- ments were the following:— I The engineering trades of Britain can win this war, but without them victory is impossible. We are all on the same raft and if we do not pull with all our might and muscle we shall be swept down the stream. An effort has been made to induce skilled engineers who are fighting to return to their shops, where they can I do more useful work than in the trench-es. Lord Kitchener has instructed that these men be dug out and invited to return to work at home. There is only one way in which we can increase the output of shells at the earliest possible moment and that \S by suspending all regulations that prevent girl labour and unskilled labour being used. It is either the common weal or the com- mon woe. I We have all heard of Neuve Chapelle. We want a deluge of Neuve Chapellea to rain for forty days and forty nights without ceasing. Britain may not have been ready, but i Britain means to make up for lost time now. Shirkers Will Soon Be Scarce. I have delivered during the short time I have held this office so many speeches that I am afraid you will im- agine that I have done nothing but talk. I can assure you we have all been work- ing very hard, and that speeches, so far as we are concerned, are simply a pre- liminary not merely to action on our own part but an inducement to action on the part of others. We have received a most encouraging reepoase so far. (Cheers). I have met employers and have met the leading re- presentatives of labour in the engineering trades, and I have had but one answer eu far—"Just out and tell us what you want done and we will do it." (Cheers). Shirkers in Britain will soon be scarce—(cheers)—in any claes and :n every clatst;, and I think you will find that t nnh- will they be scarce but that during the day time they will be bidin:; themselves like the badger, so that their neighbours shall cot see them. (Cheers).
