OUT WITH COMMUNISTS

TRADES UNION POLICY CAMPAIGN AGAINST THEM British Official Wireless Reed. noon. RUGBY, Wednesday. The series of trades union conferences held during the Whitsuntide holiday has now concluded, -and at all o£ them resolutions condemning the aims and policy of the Communist Party and the Minority Movement were carried with overwhelming majorities. Added significance is given to these reverses for the Communists by reason of the fact that at the conference held at Easter, Communism was equally strongly condemned, and the newspapers anticipate that the movement of trades union opinion is likely to be upheld within the next, two months by other unions, notably by the miners, railwaymen and transport workers. The issue will be tested at the miners’ conference at Llandudno in July, and as a precautionary measure an extensive committee of the Miners’ Federation has begun -a campaign against the Minority Movement in Scotland, Yorkshire and South Wales. Meanwhile, the Labour Party, in demanding conformity with its constitution, has adopted the policy of disaffiliating constitutional parties which adopt or support Communist political candidates.
