PARLIAMENT OF LABOUR.
PROPOSAL AT GLASGOW.
ONE UNION SCHEME REJECTED Reuter. LONDON, Sept. 14. The Trades Union Congress adopted a resolution in favour of direct taxation of land values in the next Budget, and also advocating nationalisation of banking. It resolved to -make a determined effort to force all non-unionists to join the unions, and also to Instruct the Parliamentary Committee to approach the Labour executives with a view to establishing a real industrial Parliament of Labour, under which trade unions might adopt a common policy on all questions of national and international importance.
A resolution favouring amalgamation of all trades into one big union was defeated.
The congress also resolved in favour of a levy on wealth and capital to pay the war debt, and unanimously reaffirmed the resolution that self-determination, not military rule, was the real means by which the destiny of Ireland might be worked out.
