The President of the Board of Trade, when addressing the House upon this question, stated that if the Government, or even, for the matter of that, any body of people who were confronted with organised labour in a Crisis of This Description were to give way to the demands made once a strike had taken place, and because of that strike, the tendency would be for other strikes to follow, and the strike would be used as a weapon to force concessions because of the success achieved on one particular occasion.
