LARKIN ON NON-UNIONISTS.
IRLSH LABOUR PARTY'S AIMS
ONE UNION OF WORKERS
(Received November 24th, 30.20 p.m.) LONDON, November 24. Larkin, addressing ten thousand people at • Cardiff, compared nonunionists to camp followers watching a battle from afar, and then robbing the dead. The Irish Labour Party was neutral in the matter of Home Rule. It would not bargain with politicians, and was not concerned with the bonds of Empire, but was concerned only in having a freer and fuller life in its own country. He added:—"We say to Mr Redmond and Sir Edward Carson, a enrse on both your houses, for they represent capitalism." Larkin, sneaking at Swansea, declared that his purpose was to weld the workers into one union. The idea had not been achieved heretofore owing to persons who had obtained positions of monopoly an d privilege among the workers and had declined to surrender them. He contended that the rank and file, not the leaders, must decide the line of advance, and added:—"We ought to take over Ireland and use tho country in the best interests of all its people."
