BRITISH “REDS”
CONFLICT WITH UNIONISTS. MINORITY MOVEMENT. NOT RECOGNISED BY TRADES •CONGRESS. BY CABLE —PRESS ASSOCIATION —COPYRIGHT Received Jan. 15, 9.5 a.m. LONDON, Jan. 14. The Daily Express states that- the British Reds’ plot to gain control of trade unions will be advanced a stage oil the 25th, when the minority movement will hold a conference at Battersea. This will be the most serious engagement to date between trade unions and Communists. The minority movement was formed in August, aiming at the development of class .consciousness, the establishment of factory committees, the maintenance of the closest relations with the world’s revolutionary workers, propaganda within existing workers organisations against the present tendency towards class collaboration, and the delusion of peaceful transition from capitalism to socialism. The Council of the Trade Union Congress refused to in any way countenance the movement or participate in the conference on the 25th. —Reuter.
