A CORRECTION.

[To THE EDITOR OF THE "SPECTATOR."]

you permit me to correct a slight error which has crept into your article on "The Basis of Industrial Concord" in your last issue ? You state that the National Alliance of Employers and Employed has arisen out of the Federation of British Industries. This is not quite the case. The Alliance of Employers and Employed works in conjunction with the Federation of British Industries, as it does with other similar bodies of employers and with various Trade Unions; but it differs in this essential point from all other Associations created for the purpose of dealing with industrial matters, in that its main object is to secure a non- political solution of industrial problems by a joint body of employers and employed working together on terms of equality for tie common cause.—I am, Sir, &c., 64 Victoria Street, S.W. 1.
