TRADES UNION CONGRESS.
SETTLEMENT OF DISPUTES. ANTI-STRIKE MOTION LOST. By Telegraph.—Press Assn.—Copyrigtt. Received September 10, 5.5 p.m. Geneva, Sept. 9. The Trade Union Congress debated the resolution of the Iron and Steel Trades Confederation deploring the present conduct of industrial disputes, and demanding machinery by which, before the stoppage of work in any industry, the merits of the dispute should be put before the whole movement. Though the resolution was defeated by 5.628,000 to 981,000 votes, it is significant that almost a million votes were in favor of a policy of settlement without strikes.
Mr. Arthur Pugh, in moving the motion, said that not one per cent, of strikes were justified by results. The men’s loyalty to the unions was being exploited. An angry debate followed, the miners’ leader referring to the manner in which the Triple Alliance had let them down during the recent strike.
The chief objection to the resolution was that it made a rapid strike impossible.— Aus.-N.Z. Cable Assn.
