British Trades Unionists to Study U.S. Union Methods
LONDON, Oct 10.
Ten British trade union leaders will sail from Southampton on Friday for the United States. There, on behalf of the British Trades Union Congress, (which represents 8,000,000 workers) they will investigate the functions of American trades unions to decide if there are any Anrerican practices suitable for adoption in Britain. An eleventh nominee was to have sailed with the delegation, but he was refused an American visa on the ground that he is a member of an “organisation hostile to the United States.-” The man in question was a Communist.
