ASSISTANCE TO COMRADES
LANCASHIRE COTTON STRIKE TRADE UNION CONGRESS AIM LEADER ATTACKS GOVERNMENT MUCH SYMPATHY WITH SOVIET. (United Press Association—By Electric TelegrapO Copyright.} Received 9.50 a.m. -to-day. LONDON, Sept. 5. Mr J. Bromley, in the presidential address to the Trade Union Council Congress at Newcastle, said they could not stand aside from the Lancashire cotton strike. He hoped their organised movement would be able to render their comrades valuable assistance. He bitterly attacked! the Government, which he said had prosecuted a policy of reaction in every department of public life. Any success achieved at the Ottawa Conference would only be of a temporary character. The organised workers of Britain would bitterly resent any discrimination against Russia, a “friendly Power with which we have so much sympathy.” A subject for still greater objection was the Government’s failure to cope with the unemployment problem, which could onlvl be solved 1 by bold drastic action, with a shorter working week and without reduction of wages.
