BILL IN HOUSE OF COMMONS
LONDON,' 17th February
1 In the House of Commons during the debate on a Bill authorising the London .Underground ■ Railways to spend twelve millions upon.new works and improvements, Mr. Charlotbn and other Labour members moved the rejection of tho Bill on the ground that the London tube railways required their employees on promotion to supervisory rank to give- up their trade union membership. Mr. J. H. Thomas, while sympathising with tho trade union case, made an urgent ploa 'to the Houso to facilitate tho passage of the measure owing to the serious position of tho country s trade. Tho next unemployment figures would show an increase of 11,000. The railway work would be a valuable contribution to the easing of unemployment. , . iMr Charleton withdrew Ins motion and the Bill was read a second time.
