NEW WORLD LABOUR FEDERATION
Committee Agrees Upon
Constitution
(Rec. 7 p.m.) PARIS, October 3. Mr Sidney Hillman, as chairman of the constitutional committee of the World Trade Union Congress, today announced to the cheering delegates that the committee had unanimously agreed on the constitution for the new world federation of trade unions. He said the constitution was a compromise which had had the approval of the executive committee. Mr Hillman asked for quick approval for this unification of world labour. The main British amendments have been written in, says the Associated Press of America, but nothing has been written in, as some delegates suggested, to restrict or prohibit any political activity in which the federation might see fit to engage. A clause was added providing the admission of only bona fide trade union organizations.
