LONDON, April 27.
The “Daily Telegraph’s” lobbyist states: “The Unionist members of the House of Commons, who are returning from their constituencies, report that thousands of steady-going Trades Unionists do not accept the Labour members’ representation of the Trades Union Bill, and welcome the prospects, of greater freedom under the measure. The Ministerial supporters are satisfied there is a solid mass of public opinion behind the Bill.”
