“TO BITTER END”
UNIONISTS’ PLEDGE CONFLICT IN BRITAIN HOSTILITY TO BILL By Cable. —Press Association.—Copyright Rcjd. 11.40 a.m. LONDON, Friday. Six hundred delegates, representing 4,000,000 trade unionists, attended the Trade Union Congress convened to plan a campaign against the Trade Union Bill. Mr. George Hicks, presiding, declared: “Just as the Covenanters of old bound themselves by oath to maintain the faith, we pledge ourselves to stand by trade unions and to fight the Bill to the bitter end.” The main resolution was the pledge of the conference to work to frustrate this “malicious attack and to drive the authors of the Bill from power.” The conference rejected an amendment instructing the General Council to prepare a general strike.
