By telegraph, Press Ass’u, Copyright Received 9.51 p.m., March 29.
London, Maroh 29. Mr Lawson Walton, member for South Leeds, introduced tho Trades Disputes Bill. He explained that it embodied the principle of 1875, excepting that anything done by a combination was not illegal if lawful when done by one person. The Bill revived the law of 1859 j allowing the right of peaceful persuasion _ In regard to the law of agency, which was the most difficult part of the problem, the Bill declared that no act could be made a foundation for proceedings against union funds unless it was avident the governing body of the inion authorised such acts. The Government proposed that the union mould appoint an executive committee rhich alone was entitled to act in rade disputes, and against whose ictions alone claims for redress could ie. The executive, in appointing an gent, might prescribe the duties and ostrict his sphere. If instructions rero exceeded, union funds would not o liable. Again, if a self-constituted geut, alleging he possessed the nion’s authority, did wrong and the 1 ction was repudiated, the funds were nassailable.
