PAYMENT OF M.P.'S.
I RESULT OF OSBORNE JUDGMENT. (Received October 5, 9.30' a.m.) LONDON, October 4. Since the judgment in the Osborne case—which declared that compulsory levies by trade unions for the support of members of Parliament were illegal—two branches of the Boilermakers' and Shipbuilders' Societies at Sunderland endeavoured to secure a voluntary levy for Parliamentary representation. Out of a membership of GSO, however, only six contributions were received. MINERS' FEDERATION. (Received October 5, 9.45 a.m.) LONDON, October 4. Mr Enoch Edwards, Labour member for Hanlejv in opening the Miners' Federation' Conference at Edinburgh, said that whatever steps other trades unions adopted in regard to the Osborne judgment the federation would support, but it preferred to do its own work untrammelled and unfettered.
