The Munitions Act, 1915. Gradually the fog cleared and it became possible to see hoAv the land lay. The war was seen to be an engineers ' war; vastly increased supplies of munitions must be forthcoming, and so more factories and more workers must be obtained, but it was foolish to appeal to labour 's sense of duty unless at the same time labour 's rights were safeguarded and labour organizations fully consulted. In March, 1915, Mr. Lloyd George and other members of Cabinet met the representativ...es ot over thirty unions connected with munition Avork. At this conference an agreement was reached Avhich Avas embodied in the Munitions Act, July, 1915. This act gave extensive poAvers to the neAV Ministry of Munitions, and its chief provisions were as f oUoavs : (1) Compulsory arbitration Avas to be established, and strikes and lock- outs Avere illegal except after three Aveeks ' notice and failure to secure settlement by the Board of Trade. (2) The neAV Ministry had poAver to declare any factory in Avhieh munition Avork was being carried on a ' ' controlled establishment.
