BRITISH LABOUR’S LOSS
REDUCED MEMBERSHIP CONFERENCE PROGRAMME (Australian and N.Z. Press Association) LONDON, Friday. The annual 10 days* conference of the Independent Labour Party at Carlisle will give attention to the report of the administrative council, which lays stress on the unprecedented difficulties caused by the trade depression, which has resulted in losses by the branches of their members, particularly in the mining, shipbuilding and engineering areas, reducing the branches to 746. The resolutions for consideration include a condemnation of the Government for withholding and reducing unemployment benefits; the socialisation of the cotton industry; the speedy application of socialistic measures to solve the economic and social problems; taxation for providing family allowances to increase the purchasing power of the workers.
Other resolutions support co-educa-tion and condemn the Government’s foreign policy in causing a deadlock in the disarmament negotiations and appending reservations to the Kellogg peace pact.
