A setback for the miners marked the resumption of the strike inquest, Mr Hicks announcing that the Standing Orders Committee had ruled out the miners’ amendment to refer the T.XJ.C. and miners’ separate reports to the affiliated unions for a decision on their merits. The miners’ leaders protested against the decision, after which the lesser lights of the union movement continued the debate. The vote resulted for the endorsement, of the genera] council’s action by 2,840,000 for and 1,095,000 against. The vote was enthusiastically cheered. Miners, wood workers, furnishing trades and distribute workers voted against the council. The chairman urged the delegates to heed the speakers’ appeals to forget the past and to build up the strength of the movement to resist future attacks.
