SEAMEN SUSPENDED
FROM TRADES UNION CONGRESS. HAVELOCK WILSON UNPERTURBED. I British Official Wireless.] Rugby, November 23. It is understood the general council of the Trade Union Congress has decided to accept the decision of its dispute committee to suspend the National Union of Seamen from further affiliation with the Trade Union Congress. The suspension is the sequel to the trouble which arose between the Trade Union Congress and the Seamen’s Union over the union’s gifts to the non-political miners’ organisation. The effect of the suspension will be that the Trade Union Congress will lose affiliated membership of about 60,000. Mr Havelock Wilson says he is not perturbed in the least Another interesting announcement is the dissolving of the Transport Workers’ Federation in consequence of the seamen’s secession, since the latter predominated in membershin -(A and N.Z.)
