TRADE UNION CONGRESS.
DIRECT ACTION QUESTION. By Telepaph.—Press Assn.—CoottlkM. Received Sept. 10, 7.40 p.m. London, Sept. 9. The Trade Union Congress debated the Parliamentary Committee's report deprecating a special conference on direct action. After Mr. Brownlie had justified his letter on the subject, Mr. Smillie moved to refer the report back. Mr. Banning, president, said if the motion were carried it might be interpreted as a vote in favor of direct action. The motion was carried by 2,586,000 to 1,870,000. The result is not regarded as committing the congress to direct action, but as a protest against the recent attacks on Mr. Smillie and the assertion that he was not supported by the general mass of trade unionists.—Aus.-N.is. Cable Asbh.
