Industrial Relations
SIR,—There has been much comment recently in your columns upon relations within industry and your readers may be interested to learn that an Institute of Industrial Relations has now been formed. This body will be widely representative and in particular will include many—both shop stewards and supervisors—who are engaged in the day-to-day practice of shop floor relations.
Since one of the main purposes of the institute is to provide a forum for exchanging individual opinions and information, there is not likely to be an 'official' view on most industrial problems, nor even an attempt to enforce a consensus. The insti- tute, a voluntary, non-profit-making organisation, will also be closely concerned with education and standards in the practical conduct of industrial relations. Those of your readers who wish to receive further details should write to me.
