-The
pressure
of
the unemployment
problem
is increasing
and anxiety
is
being
manifested
by
la-
bour
organization,
manufacturers
and
the
public,
regarding
tle
plan
which
the
Govt.
is
formulating
to
deal
with
it.
A joint conference
of labour
leaders
yesterday
accepted
the
Prime
Ministers
invitation
to
advise
the
Cabinet
next
week
on the
question,
but the labourites
revealed,
in
an
exchange
of
communi-
cations
with
Mr.
Lloyd
George
their
thir desire
to begin
discussions
immedi-
‘ately.
They consented
merely
to exam-
ine the Govt’s.

associating
themselves

Mr. Ben Tillett, Labour

and
organizer of the
Dockers
union
cf
which for
many
years
he
has
been
general

in

declared,
‘‘Bank-

London,
Oct.
Bth.--The
d=sign of the
ZR2,
which came
to
grief in the Humber
at
Hull
last month,
shou'd
have
been
examined
and
discussed
by
an
officiai
competent
committee
before
its
actual
construction
was commenced,
declared
a
report
of
the
court
of
inquiry,
which
investigated
the
disaster.
The
report
adds
that
there
is
no evidence
to show
that
this
~as
done
and
finds
that the
accident
was
due te structural
weakness.
i'be
opinion of the court
is that
the
air-
ship,
whiie
flving
approximately
1200
feet
over
the river, broke
in two,
due to
the
failure of the
strueture
to
the
rear
of
the
after
engine
cars
while being
subjected
to control
tests.
The
findings
ol the court o)
inquiry confirm
evidence
introduced
at the
inquest
into the disas-
ter.
They say
that fire, probably origin-
ating
from a spark from
electric
wires,
was
m inly responsikle
for
the large ioss
of life.
They note
that
a quick
reversal
was being
made
at the time of the
acei-
dent,
bringing
a
heavy
strain
on
the
after portion of the hull of the craft,
due
to
tne swing of
the
stern.
The
court,
while
finding that
there
was
one
para-
chute
available
for
every
person
on
board
the ZR2, asserts
that
no
survivor
in
the
disaster
owed
his
escape
to
a
parachute.
