LABOUR ANTIPATHY
DUKE'S VISIT TO U.S.A.
BALTIMORE RESOLUTION
WASHINGTON, November 3. Mr. Charles Bedaux, the American friend of the Duke of Windsor, announced that'the investigation by the Duke and Duchess of labour conditions in the United States will occupy 37 days and will embrace the fifteen basic industries, including machinery, oil, chemicals, textiles, tobacco, steel, rubber, paper, timber, and food. The Baltimore Federation of Labour, affiliated with the American Federation of Labour, adopted a resolution condemning the visit of the Duke and Duchess, especially to Baltimore. The federation warned trade unionists of the "potential threat to free labour and free democratic government of slumming parties professing the study of labour." Speakers denounced the Duke of Windsor for his German visit and for seeking labour information from Herr Hitler. They also asserted that the Duchess while a native of Baltimore had not shown the slightest sympathy with the problems of labour or the poor. An attack was also made against the association of the Duke and Duchess with Mr. Bedaux, who was charged with the authorship of a vicious labour system designed to stretch out working hours. ,
