POSITION OF THE LABOUR PARTY HOW UNIONS ,ARE AFFECTED.
An important addition was made to that portion of the United Labour Party's constitution dealing with collective act-ion in industrial disputes by the Unity Conference last evening. The full text of the clause as finally adopted, reads :— "In case of any industrial dispute, especially in the case of a refusal of ths Arbitration Court to grant an award, or in case of a palpable miscarriage of justice in that Court, the executive council shall have authority to take euch further action, as it may deem necessary, on tho approval of the federation of unions involved, and may uso to this 'end the whole power of this organisation in such further action ac may seem necessary to protect those who must otherwise become utterly defenceless under the present forms ol the law ; provided that no union or federation of unions shall be required to specially contribute to or join in any strike, witnout first securing tho consent o* the union or federation by taking a roferenduin of ite members."
