LABOR AND SCIENCE.
A SCIENTIST’S REBUKE. RESENTED BY LABOR LEADER. Br Telegraph.—Press Assn.—Copyright Received September 9, 5.5 pm. London, Sept. 9. Sir Richard Gregory, speaking at the British Association, condemned the trade unions’ lack of interest in scientific problems, pointing out that many pioneer scientists had been men of humble origin. He said that if the unions were true to their title, instead of being merely wage unions, they would give the same attention to the scientific principles of their industry as they did to claiming the uttermost wages therefrom.
Mr. Bunsen (an Edinburgh trade union leader) replied that it was no part of the trade union functions to propagate scientific knowledge. They might as well ask cricket clubs and musical societies to promote scientific lectures.—Aus.-N.Z. Cable Assn.
