LABOUR PARTY
CONFERENCE AT LAMBETH
LACK OF WORKING-CLASS ADHESION AND ENTHUSIASM.
NATIONALISATION OF MINES AND RAILWAYS.
By Telegraph—Press Association—Oppyri«h»
(Received January 30, 9.55 p.m.) LONDON, January 30. Air G. H. Roberts, Labour ALP. for Norwich, presiding at tho Labour Party’s conference at Lambeth, challenged tho view that political action was futilo and that industrialism was the only method of realising the workers’ aims.
If neither political action nor a strike policy realised expectations, that was duo to a lack of working-class adhesion and enthusiasm.
When a popular franchise was secured the poojffe could master tho State. Ho viewed compulsory arbitration with misgiving, but tho integrity of contracts should bo maintained, except under great provocation. With united action tho nationalisation of mines and railways was as easily practicable as the transference of tele< phonos.
