TRADES UNION BILL
» DEBATE IN LORDS. (Australian and N.Z. Cable Association.) LONDON, July 21. The House of Lords went into committee on the Trade Disputes Bill. It agreed to the following amendments: The first was proposed by the Lord Chancellor, deleting the previous definition of “intimation" as “causing reasonable apprehension or injury to self, to dependents, or to property, including injury other than physical and material.” The amendment substitutes the following:—“lnjury in respect to business or any other source of income, including any actionable wrong.” The second amendment agreed to was moved by Lord Inchcape, and it includes in the definition of a “strike” a refusal to accept employment.” Lord Inchcape pointed out that this is aimed at seamen refusing new work after they are paid off, which technically is not a strike, but which might be very serious. Lord Arnold protested that this would form serfdom, which will compel men to accept work. Lord Reading suggested that before - the third reading on July 25, the House should consider whether to apply this strike definition only to the shipping industry.
