LARKIN ON NON-UNIONISTS.
HIS GREAT IDEAL
I (Per Press Association—Copyright).
LONDON, November 24
Larkin, addressing 10 3 000 people at Cardiff, compared non-unionists to camp-followers watching a battle from afar, and then robbing the dead. The Irish Labour Party was neutral in the matter of Home Rule. It would not bargain with politicians, and was riot concerned with the bonds of Empire, but was concerned only in having a freer and fuller life in its own country. He added:—"We say to Mr Redmond and Sir Edward Carson, a curse on both your houses, for they represent capitalism."
Larkiiiv speaking at Swansea, declared that his purpose was to weld the workers into one union. The idea had not been achieved heretofore owing to persons who had obtained positions of monopoly and privilege among the workers and had declined to surrender them. He contended that the rank and file, not the leaders, must decide the line of advance, and added:— uWe ought to take over Ireland and use the country in the best interests of all its people." ,
