CONTROL OF INDUSTRY
BRITISH LABOR POLICY A DANGEROUS PRINCIPLE LONDON, Sept." 9. ‘ Plans for the application of the socialisation of industry were discussed at the Trades Union Congress. Mr. Walter Citrine, pointed, out that the next Labor Government was pledged to socialise certain basic industries quickly and definitely. He questioned the wisdom of a resolution that 50 per cent, of the representation on industrial managerial committees must be workers’ nominees, with ultimate control entirely vested in the workers. He expressed the opinion’ that such a policy would seriously prejudice Labor’s chances at the next election if the electors were told that State controlled industry meant worker control. The resolution was lost, 1,045,000 votes being for and 1,428,000 against, over 1,000,000 abstaining from voting.
