SOCIALISATION OF INDUSTRY
DISCUSSION BY TRADES UNION CONGRESS ■ PLAN FOR CONTROL BY WORKERS REJECTED (CHITBD PRESS ASSOCTATTON'—TIT ELTSCTIUC TELEGRAPH—COPYIUGUT.) (Received September 10, 9.20 p.m.) LONDON, September 9. Plans lor the socialisation of industry were discussed at the Trades Union Congress. Mr Walter Citrine (general secretary of the congress) said that the next Labour Government was pledged to socialise certain basic industries quickly and definitely. He questioned the wisdom of a resolution that 50 per cent, of the representation on industrial and managerial committees must be workers' nominees, with ultimate control entirely vested in workers. He expressed the opinion that such a policy would seriously prejudice Labour's chances in the next election, if the electors were told that State-controlled industry meant control by the workers. The resolution was lost by 1,428,000 votes to 1,045,000, more than 1,000,000 abstaining.
