EVIL CONSPIRACY OF FEW AGITATORS
OR SPONTANEOUS SHOW OF
SOLIDARITY?
T.U.C. PRESIDENT SATS LATTER.
(United Preai Association.—Copyright.) (Received 7th September, Boon.) LONDON, 6th September. Mr. Pugh, in hia presidential address to the Trade Unions Congress, said that it would be fatal to the future welfare of the country, and destructive of all hopes of peace'able progress, if the great spontaneous demonstration of workingclass solidarity in May were regarded as the evil conspiracy of a few agitators. Given '■'the circumstances existing in May, a national stoppage was inevitable. The choice lay between action by a controlled and disciplined body or industrial chaos and disorder, but if the whole movement might be required to rally to the defence of any part of trade unionism, it was an equally fundamental principle that the interest of the part could never be superior to the interest of the whole movement.
