INTERNATIONAL UNION
RUSSIA AGAIN REFUSED ADMISSION DECISION OF BRITISH TRADES CONGRESS AGREEMENT DESIRED ON FAIR CONDITIONS By Telegraph—Press Association. Copyright. (Reed This Day, 9.15 a.m.) LONDON, 'Septembei' 9. The Trades' Union congress, by 2,619,000 votes to 1,493,000 adopted the General Council’s report, embodying the Oslo Federation’s decision not to admit Russian trades unions to the International Union. Mr E. G. Hicks, M.P., moving the adoption of the report admitted the importance of international trade union unity, particularly in connection with world peace, but pointed out that Russia’s proposals would largely give her control of the situation. He added that if Russia desired unity she must evolve a healthier mentality towards other national centres. The council members favoured termination of negotiations, but others contended that slamming the door in the face of Russia during the present position of world affairs was a stark tragedy, and that no price was too excessive to pay for the elimination of Hitler.
