DURHAM MINERS
SUPPORT FOR LABOUR WAR POLICY i VIGOROUS REPLY TO UNIVERSITY FEDERATION. STAND AGAINST AGGRESSION. APPROVED. (British Official Wireless.) (Received This Day, 9.45 a.m.) RUGBY, January 5. In vigorous contrast with the suggestion of the University Labour Federation that the trade unions and Labour parties in Britain were opposed to the official-peace aims and policy of the Trades Union. Congress and the Labour' Party, the council of the Durham Mi tiers’ Association, by 714 votes to 21, passed a resolution welcoming 3lr Attlee’s declaration defining peace policy. The resolution assures the Opposition leaders of united support in the stand taken against aggression and for the restoration of liberty and building of a new social order amongst nations, which the council declared was the only sound basis for peace and progress. In referring to the resolution, the “Daily Herald” says: “British Labour is determined to resist the aggressor and lawbreaker in the international field as well as in the industrial field. Neither the Durham miners nor the rest of the British working class will waver in this determination until Hitlerism is utterly extinguished.”
