UNION CONGRESS
INDUSTRY SOCIALISATION PLAN. (Un>ted Press Association —By Electric Telegraph—Copyright) LONDON, September 9. Plans for the application of socialisation to industry were discussed by the Trades Union Congress. Mr Citrine pointed out that the next Labour Government would be pledged to socialise certain basic industries quickly and definitely. He questioned the wisdom of a resolution that 50 per cent, of the representation on industrial managerial committees must be workers’ nominees, with the ultimate control entirely vested in the workers. He expressed the opinion that such a policy would seriously prejudice Labour’s chances at the next election, if the electors were told that State-con-t rolled industry meant worker control. The resolution was lest, the voting being: 1,045,000 for and 1,428,000 against, over a million voters abstaining.
