UNION OF FREE WORKERS.
At a conference recently held at Bradford, England, ft was decided to form a National Society "of Free Workers. The chairman of the conference said they had ,no quarrel with those who desired to join trade unions for any legitimate purpose, ft was only thd abuse of trade unionism that hadled free ■workers to organise in self-de-fence. To-day, lie said, trade unionism and State Socialism were nearly synonymous terms. The conference passed a resolution declaring that the repeated attempts at coercion on the part of many trade unions made it imperative that workers desirous of remaining free agents should form a national organisation for the purpose of maintaining the principles of personal liberty and personal responsibility, and of protecting bv all possible means the rights of individual members to live and work in freedom so long as they did nothing to interfere with the,,enjoyment of Jiko freedom by others. "< Is there not room for such a society in Xew Zealand?
