THE OSBORNE JUDGMENT
(By Electric Telegraph.—Copyright.) (United Press Association.) (Received 9.20 a.m.) London, January 3.
Mr Henderson, at a conference of 500, representing two million trade unions, moved the adoption of the report, recommending the acceptance of the Trades Union Bill under protest as an instalment, and urged that the Bill’s powers should lie used for strengthening tho Labour party’s position ; and when the minorities had been converted, the trade unionists could go with a united front to Parliament, and obtain a reversal of the Osborne judgment.
Mr Stephen Walsh, in seconding tho motion, declared that the Bill restored to a substantial degree the position held before the judgment. They would start a Postmen’s Federation if the Bill was accepted and the Government would not reverse the judgment. Labour always getting instalments, but never its full demands. Mr Smillie feared that the acceptance of instalments .would retard the reversal of tho judgment for many
years. The motion was carried by 346 votes to 76.
