THE DOOM OF TRADE UNIONISM
EFFECT OF THE OSBORNE JUDGMENT. LABOR'S MANIFESTO. By Cable.—Press Association.—Copyright Received 17, 0.35 p.m. London, October 17. The Labor Party, in a manifesto just issued, entitled, "How the Osborne judgment dooms trade unionism," declares that the rich can draw cheques for thousands of pounds to finance political frieffds, but it is illegal for combined labor to help the poor by means of combined funds, which was the only way coppers could be made as effective as cheques. The Osborne judgment, it says, made the House of Commohs a present to the rich. The experience of America proved that the payment of members did not secure working-class representation. Payment must be accompanied by power to form political organisations. The conference of Trades Unions Socialists at Walthamstow resolved that unless Mr. J. A. Simon, who has been appointed Solicitor-General in succession to Sir "Rufus Isaacs, pledged the Government to give trades unions absolute control of their own funds for Parliamentary purposes they would -fight him. The conference controls 2000 votes in the electorate.
