(United Press Association —By Electric Telegraph—Copyright.)
LONDON, September 5,
Mr Bromley, in his presidential address at the Trades Unions Congress at Newcastle, said they could not stand ai?ide from the Lancashire cotton strike. He hoped rthat their organised > movement would he able to render their comrades valuable assistance.
He bitterly attacked the Government, which, he said, had prosecuted a policy of reaction in every department of public life. Any success achieved at Ottawa would only be of a -temporary character. The organised workers ol Britain would bitterly resent any discrimination against Russia, “a friendly power with which we have go much sympathy.” Still more object was the failure to cope with .the unemployment problem, which would only be solved by bold drastic action with a shorter -peek, without reduction in wages.
The Congress agreed that a contribution of £IOOO to the unions engaged in the Lancashire cotton dispute be made.
