BRITISH TARIFF.

Labour Opposition.

TO PROPOSED WOOL DUTIES. (Received December 7 at 7.5 p.m.) LONDON. December 7. There is much comment in the Lob bies on the West Riding Labour Commoners* decision to oppose the safe guarding of wool manufactures. Mr W. Mackinder (Labour. Shipley, Yorkshire) suggests that the Executives of the Labour Party and Trade Union Congress should examine the Trade Unions’ views. The Daily Herald editorially sup ports this suggestion. “To us,” it says, “safeguarding is a mere gamble, suiting the employers of eertaifi industries, and promising nothing to the workers in the shape of higher real wages, better conditions, or greater security. Some Labour members think differently. The time has come to thrash out their differences. In view of the General Election, there must not be dubiety on a quesiton which the Tories will seek to make one of fir-t-elass importance.”
