UNPRECEDENTED ACTION
(AGSTIUU/.N - NEW ZE.U.ANI) CASV. ASsncnriorO
LONDON, 10th August. The joint political and induttrial labour organisations' unanimous decision is sn unprecedented action in the history of the Labour movement. It means that if Britain decides to institute war pleasures against Russia, c national con-
gress of trade unions will be held within a few hours to declare an immediate general strike, involving six million workers. Sectional Labour protests continue. There is every indication that the great mass of the working population is united behind the leaders. A council of action appointed by the conference arranged an interview with Mr. Lloyd George to-day.
