ADDRESS TO CONGRESS

(British Official Wireless.; Received 11.f>0 a.m, to-day. RUGBY, Sept. About JO intruders at the Trade Union Congress meeting at Nottingham to-day interrupted the proceedings when the Home Secretary, Air J. R. dynes, rose to address ■ the meeting. Tim interrupters, who were apparently Communists, were ultimately ejected, but the demonstration considerably delayed proceedings. In his speech Air Glynes said that if they did not get “Socialism in our time” in its complete form they were getting it all the time in one degree or another, but Socialists could only be made by argument and example. It was in that spirit that the Government had pursued its course and they looked to the immediate future and a remote time ahead with the knowledge that things that were to last must be things of _ slow growth. , .... The - Government were awaiting the opportunity to reverse the Trade Disputes Act. and they were committed to that attitude. It was the purpose of the present Government to give back to trade unions the freedom of which they were deprived by Parliamentary action.
