TO PREVENT WAR.

LABOUR RESOLUTION. WORKERS CALLED ON TO ORGANISE. TO COMBAT MILITARISM. [By Electric Cable—Copyright.] [Aust. and N.Z. Cable Assoc.ation.] (Received Sunday, 7.0 p.m.) MELBOURNE, July 2. The Union Congress, before it concluded, elected a Council of Action, representative of the various States, which will function as practically the controlling body of the Australian industrial movement. The Congress adopted a resolution* expressive of the fear of possible future wars and condemnatory thereof as opposed to Labour's interests, also urgently calling upon the workers immediately to organise to prevent war by linking up in order to oppose the designs, methods and machinations of Capitalistic Governments, at the first step. The Council of Action was instructed to call a pan-Pacific conference of workers' organisations in Australia next year, simultaneously with the panPacific Science Congress. It was also resolved to hold a demonstration against war during the week of the anniversary of the declaration of the Great War.
