In the House of Commons on Friday, February 18th, r.
Mitchell Banks made as capable a speech as could be ale in such a cause, in moving his Bill to prevent foreign atributions for the assistance of either side in an dustrial dispute from coming into this country. The st answer to the Bill was that, though it was well rant, British employers who stood for conciliation and e ending of disputes by negotiation did not just now ant legislation which presupposed folly on either side. would be much better to face and fight revolutionaries reetly—to scotch the men not the money. There was a neral feeling, in fact, that what was proposed in the ill would do much more harm than good by side-tracking e forces of moderation. The Government allowed a vote, but advised against the Bill, and in the vision it was defeated by 193 votes to 75.
