British Labor and the War Reach Across America
The Cheyenne talk by British labor leaders outlines how wartime labor mediation grew under Lloyd George and Arthur Henderson, urging American unions to adopt arbitration over strikes. It argues a shared goal of national unity, warns of widening employer worker rifts in the U S, and calls for an American parallel to Britain’s treasury scheme to prevent disruption and boost war effort. It ends by linking labor harmony to victory and praising Allied strategy.
