ARE STRIKES FAILURES?
Pi 'ess Association— By Telegraph—Copyright LONDON, September 9. The Trade Union Congress debated a resolution of the Iron and Steel Trades Confederation deploring the present con4, duct of industrial disputes, demanding " machinery by which, before the stoppage of work in any industry, the merits of the dispute should be put before the whole movement. Though the resolution was defeated by 5,628,000 votes to 981,000, it is significant that ahpost a million votes were in favor of a policy of settlements without strikes. Mr Arthur Pugh, in moving the resolution, said that _not 1 per cent, of strikes were justified by results. The men’s loyalty to the unions was being exploited. An angry debate followed, the miners’ leaders' referring to the manner in which . the Triple Alliance let them down during the recent strike. The chief objection to the resolution was that it made a rapid strike impossible.—A. and N.Z. Cable.
