MR FOURNIER NOW ASKED TO EXPLAIN.
TRADES HALL COMMITTEE HAS LONG MEETING. For nearly three hours this morning the Trades Hall Committee debated the. matters brought up at yesterday’s meeting of the Citizens’ Unemployment Committee by Air R. B. Owen. All the union secretaries, with the exception of Alessrs H. Worrall, F. R. Cooke and A. Tongue, were present. Air S. Fournier, the Communist leader, was called before the committee and asked to explain his activities in connection with the unemployed. The meeting is understood to have been particularly lively, but when it concluded all those who had been present preserved a Sphinx-like silence and refused to give any information to the newspapers. It was stated that Messrs F. C. Ellis and W. J. Green had been instructed to draw up a report for the newspapers, and that this will be available this afternoon. When approached by a reporter and asked if he intended to continue his activities, Air Fournier stated that his lips were sealed and he could give no information.
