TRADES UNION BILL
DEBATE OPENS ON MONDAY. COUNTRY-WIDE CAMPAIGNS. (Prts? AeeooUtloa—By Telegraph—Copyright) LONDON, April 29. {Received April 29, at 9 p.m.) The Government has allotted an exceptionally lengthy period for the second reading debate on the Trades Union Bill —namely, three and a-half parliamentary days, beginning on Monday, when the Attorney-genera] (Sir Douglas Hogg) will open the discussion. Mr J. R. Clynes (Lab.) will immediately move the rejection of the Bill. The Liberal attitude is still somewhat obscure. It would be no surprise if Sir John Simon commends the Bill i but it it is expected that rather more than half of the Liberal members will vote against it on the second reading. In the meantime the Unionist organisations are not allowing the Labourites to have matters all their own way in the country. One thousand indoor and outdoor meetings in support of the Bill have already been arranged, and 10 Cabinet Ministers, including Mr Churchill and Lord Birkenhead, have undertaken to address mass meetings. Mr Henderson and Mr Citrine, of the Labour Party, are appealing for campaign funds.—A. and N.Z. Cable.
