DISSENSION AMONG WORKERS
GRAVE PROBLEM IN BRITAIN. By Telegraph.—Press Assn.—Copyright. Received Sept. 1, 9.55 p.m. London, August 31. The Trade Union Congress next week will be confronted with the grave problem of the defection of workers from the movement. Ten typical unions during 1921 lost 624,000 members, including: Railway clerks, 33 per cent, of the total membership; National Union of Railwaymen, 20 per cent.; loco, engineers and firemen, 20 per cent.; electrical trades, 25 per cent.; tailors, 33 per cent.; agricultural workers, 33 per cent.; general workers, more than 50 per cent. The balance sheets disclose extraordinary features. For example, the agricultural workers’ ratio of management expenses to income from members is more than 75 per cent., and that for general workers more than 45 per cent.—Aus.-N.Z, Cable Assn.
