THE BUDGET BATTLE
| A STRONG INDICTMENT
LORDS DELAY REFORMS.
United Press ESsctric Tolegraph Copyright, Received December 8, 8.40 a.m. LONDON, December 7. The Parliamentary Committee of the Tradej Union Congress has issued a manifesto, which daclares that the Lords have never voluntarily done anything to promote the interests of the masses, but, on the contrary, have protected eveiy abuse, supported every privilege, persistently and consistently delayed reforms, and are a menace to political freedom. The rejection of the Budget was a deliberate insult. The manifesto urges the abolition of the House of Lords. The Free Church Council is urging a thousand local councils in England and Wales to take strong local action in favour of the abolition of the power of veto by the House of Lords. Mr Walter Long, M.P. (ex-Chief Secretary for Ireland) and other politicians emphasise the absence of any indication how the Liberals propose to abolish the Lords' veto.
