EMPLOYMENT AFTER THE WAR. [To ME EDITOR OP THE "
SPECTATOR."] Sia,—With reference to the announcement in your columns of the 9th inst. of the ioint proposals for the regulation of employment after the war, subscribed to by representatives of legating employers on the one hand and of the Trade Unions on the other, I am desired by the President of the Federation of British Indus- tries to add to the particulars announced. The leading repro- sentatives of employers who assented to the proposals at the meeting at the Hotel Cecil on the 7th inst., under the chairman- ship of Mr. Huth Jackson, are all members of the Federation of British Industries, and their assent to the proposals was given on behalf of this Federation as well as on behalf of their own firms. These proposals, therefore, have the support not only of the prominent firms which these gentlemen represent, but also of the most important and representative industrial organization. in the country, which comprises among its members numerous large firms and over forty Associations in the iron, steel, engineering, shipbuilding, textile, dyeing, brewing, electrical, chemical, and other industries. In view of the great importance of these proposals which constitute the first attempt of a representative body of employers and Trade Union leaders to make suggestions for the solution of one of the great post-war problems on definite and .practical lines, I venture to hope- that you will be good enough to insert this letter.—I am, Sir, &c.,
R. T. NUGENT, Director and Secretary. Federation of British Industries, 51 Lincoln's Inn Fields, W.C.
