TEAMS UNION FUNDS.
USE FOR POLITICAL ACTION
LEGISLATION INTRODUCED.
By Telegraph.—Press Association.— Copyright. London, May 24. In the House of Commons to-day, Mr. Winston Churchill (Home Secretary) introduced a Bill to enable trade unions, after passing a special resolution, to use their machinery for the purpose of political action, and to devote a portion of the funds thereto.
A proviso protects individual members of a union upon notifying their objection to such expenditure. The Labourites are not wholly satisfied, inasmuch as they have consistently demanded a complete reversal of the Osborne judgment.
