“BITTER BLUNDER” "
TRADES UNION BILL MR. MACDONALD'S OUTBURST (Elec. Tel. Copyright—United Press Assn.) (Australian and N.Z. Cable Association.) (Received May 13, 10 ajn.) NEW YORK, May 11. Information from Philadelphia' states that Air. Ramsay MacDonald,, who fell ill on April 24, is now so nearly well that he will probably leave hospital on Friday and will shortly be sailing for home.
Interviewed, he said of the Trades Union Bill: “Every direct thinking man, whether he has been.in sympathy with the Labor party or not, must see that this legislation is a bitter, blind blunder, and shows the present Government will do the country much harm if it continues in power. It is an insult to sane men to offer it to Parliament, and only those whose hearts and heads are full of class prejudice and blindness to justice will support it. What is worrying me is that I am in this hospital room instead of in Parliament fighting the Bill.
