EMPLOYERS’ PROPOSALS. CURTAILING THEIR POWERS. BY CABLE—PRESS ASSOCIATION—COPYRIGHT. LONDON, Feb. 7. In view of the Baldwin Government’s piopsed reform of the trade union laws, the Engineering Employers’ National Federation proposes the following: (1) A trade union should be liable for damages in respect of tortious acts committed by them, or on their behalf; (’2) breaking of contracts of employment in furtherance of trade disputes should be actionable; (3) in connection with political levies, provision should be made for contracting in, instead of contracting out; (4) mass picketing and picketing of houses should be illegal. The federation adds that provident funds should not* be available to meet claims in respect to damages.
