BRITISH LABOUR LEADER RETURNS
MR. MACDONALD JOINS FIGHT ON TRADES UNION BILL
British Wireless. — Copyright. RUGBY, Sunday.
A cordial party reception awaits Mr. Ramsay MacDonald on his return from America, where, owing to illness, his sojourn was extended.
Delegates of the Labour Party will travel with him from Southampton to London on Tuesday, and will escort him direct to the House of Commons, where it is expected he will at once participate in the committee stages of the debate on the Trades Union Bill.
The Attorney-General, Sir Douglas Hogg, who is Minister in charge of the Trades Unions Bill, referred in a speech last night to Labour challenges delivered when the Bill, in its original form, was published, that if Labour were returned to power it would repeal its provisions. Sir Douglas said that a general elec tion could be looked for in about two years’ time, but by then he believed trade unionists would have discovered that the Bill did not prohibit the strict and lawful activities of their trade unions.—A. and N.Z.
