INDUSTRIAL POSITION.
fAUSTRALIAN & N.Z. CABLE ASSOCIATION] TRADE UNIONS POSITION. (Received this day at 9.25 a.m.) LONDON, Feb. 26. Mr Appleton, Secretary of the Federation of the Federation of Trade Unions, says the Federation’s reserve of £265,000 ought to be sufficient to meet the needs of all well-directed schemes to secure improvements in wages and hours, but the present tendency to rush into strikes endangered the funds, and required a sum much larger than the Federation possesses. The Management Committee is gravely concerned over strikes engineered for political purposes. Nothing can so surely promote future unemployment as the destruction of confidence. At the present moment, the committee promises the fullest support foi the executives who manage their unions in accordance with the rules and not in accordance with the demands of selfish or excited partisans.
