By Telegraph—Pros;) Association—Copyright Received 4.29 p.m., May 10,
London, May 9. Mr Shacklcton’s Bill to legalise peaceful persuasion, picketing, and to prohibit action against Trades Unions as such was rejected by 210 votes to 220. Toe Government opposed the Bill, but promised an enquiry. Mr Balfour characterised the measure a 3 fragmentary, ambiguous, and apparently alarmingly revolutionary in regard to some aspects of a vast, complicated question, going to the root of industrial life. iSinco Parliament must shortly reconsider the whole position of combinations of workmen, employers, and capitalists, it was advisable that a commission should investigate modern social and economic phenomena to throw light on tho principles and lines of futuro action. The majority were entirely Unionists. Many Ministerialists abstained from voting.
