TRADE UNION CONGRESS.
Press Assn — By telegraph— Copyright LONDON, Yesterday.
The Trade Union Congress at Nottirigham censured^ Messrs J; Burns, Maddison and Vivian, M.'sP., for opposing the Right to Work Bill. Several delegates denounced the Salvationist methods, and alleged un-der-paying and sweating in the joinery department of the t rescue work, which was competing injiiriously with private firms and weakening the position of trade unionism.
The resolution was not pressed, as negotiations with General Booth are proceeding. - A Socialist resolution that the Congress should amalgamate with the Labor party and the General Federation of Trade Unions was overwhelmingly negatived. It was afterwards resolved that no member of the Management Committee. of the General Federation or' the Executive Committee of the Labor party, should be eligible for the Parliamentary Committee of the Trade Union Congress.
