TRADES UNION BILL
THIRD READING CARRIED. (Australian and N.Z. Cable association.) LONDON, June 23. In the House of Commons, Mr P. Snowden said that there was design in the ambiguity of the Trades [inion Bill. The Government hid its real intentions in a mass of verbiage, leaving its interpretation to the Courts.

Thereupon, a few of the Labourites attempted to sing “Rule, Brittannia!”
