( (Received July 21, 10 a.m.) j LONDON, July 20. j The Federation of Trades Unions is j inviting members of both Houses of j Parliament to confer with the trades unions at tlio House of Commons on August 1 to consider tlio question of soldiers' and sailors' pay. Tho Federation states that tho prico of men's needs are enormously increasing, and where British battalions aro brigaded alongside colonials tho Britisher can only look at the commodities and curso tho parsimony which gives him one-sixth of the pay of the Australian and New Zealand troops. It is not decent for tlio stay-at-homes to talk of patriotism while this scandal is continued.
