SWEEPING POLICY.
Part in Control of Industries Publicly Owned. FORM OF NATIONALISATION. LONDON, March 23. At a joint meeting of the general council of the Trades Union Congress and the executive committee of the Labour party it was decided to endorse the principle "iliat the claim of organised labour to a place in the control and direction of publiclyowned industries shall be recognised," The "Daily Telegraph" industrial writer says this sweeping declaration of policy is the culmination of a year of party discussion regarding the form that nationalisation should take. It means that when a Socialist Government is returned to power the Bank of England, the joint stock banks and staple industries will be placed under the control of boards of management. The trades unions will select representatives to -serve on the boards, and will claim self-government and work* shop control,' while rates of wages and hours of work will be negotiated between the trades unions and the joint boards.
