TRADES’ UNION CONGRESS.
(Received .9.20.) LONDON, Sept. 6. The Trades’ Union Congress rejected the committees recommendation to join the International Trade Union Conference, and simultaneously a peace conference, in order to advise diplomats concerning the labours view of peace terms. It was disclosed that German trade unionists had informed the conveners that it was impossible to attend, because they were under Government absolutism, which they hoped would be altered after the war. Several members of the Congress declared they would not tolerate any further truck with German internationalists.
