PARLIAMENT OF LABOUR
IMPORTANT CONFERENCES.
NATIONALISATION ISSUE.
DIRECT ACTION DISCREDITED. By Telegraph—Press Association— Copyright. (Received 11 p.m.) A. and N.Z. LONDON, Sept. 1. Important labour conferences will be held during the next few days. The executive of the Miners' Federation is to meet to-morrow. The principal subject for consideration is the Government's refusal to nationalise the mines. The federation itself will meet on Wednesday to receive the recommendation of the executive. There is no considerable diversity of opinion in the federation as regards nationalisation. The crucial question will be the method of achieving a reversal of the Government's policy. Advocates of direct action at present are somewhat discredited. A number of responsible leaders, with a strong following, oppose direct action in any shape or form.
Responsibility may be transferred to the conference of the Triple Labour Alliance, which will meet on Thursday. At this conference, nationalisation and direct action will be the principal topics, but all decisions of either the Miners' Federation or the Triple Alliance will be overclouded by the imminence of the annual Trades Union Congress at Glasgow on September 8.
