LABOR UNIONS' ALLIANCE.
A SWEEPING PROGRAMME. By Telegraph.—Press Assn.—Copyright. Received June 0, 1.25 a.m London, May 30. A fudon of great British trade unions similar to the Triple Alliance is proceeding. The National Union of General Workers, the Dockers' Union, and the Carters' Union have formed an organisation with a membership only exceeded by the Triple Alliance. The movement is connected with a scheme including the Textile Unions, under which the extremists hope to be able to force the nationalisation of all land, minerals, mines, royalties.', and railways. On the contrary, the extremists suffered a set-back yesterday, when the Parliamentary Committee of the Trades Union Congress definitely refused to call a national labor conference to consider the schemes.
Smillie and Robert Williams are for a wholesale industrial strike to enforce their pacifist aims, including the abolition of compulsory service and the withdrawal of British troops from Russia.— Aus.-N.Z. Cable Assn.
