TRADES DISPUTE BILL
GENERAL EFFECT EXPLAINED. (United Press Assn.—By Telegraph—Copyright.) London, December 18. It is understood that the general effect of the Trades Disputes Bill, which was introduced in the House of Commons to amend the lav; relating to trades disputes and trades unions, is to restore the trades union law to the condition it was in prior to the 1927 Act. The new Bill, which is likely to be opposed by a section of the Liberals as well as by the Conservatives, legalizes a sympathetic strike, but does not affect the legal position of a general strike as defined in 1927. The Bill reverses the position of the political levy requiring the payments of all trade unionists. PREVIOUS ACT ANNULLED. (United Press Assn.—By Telegraph-Copyright.) (Rec. 11.45 p.m.) London, December 19. The Daily Herald declares that the new 'Trades Disputes Bill completely wipes out Mr Baldwin’s Act passed after the general strike of 1926. Sympathetic strikes will be legalized and no strike can be declared illegal on account of its mere magnitude. The political levy will be restored and the civil services will be permitted to organize.
