REDS IN BRITAIN
BIG CONFERENCE ON WAGES LONDON, Feb. 25. While Mr J. H. Thomas is daily counselling the railwaymen to adhere to conciliation in the negotiation of their wage demands in preference to a disastrous strike, Mr Cook is preaching Red doctrines to miners, whose executive to-day decided to convene a conference in London in March of miners, railwaymen, amalgamated engineers, transport workers, and locomotive engineers for the purpose of discussing their various wages claims. This decision, following suggestions to revive the Triple Alliance, is being regarded as most significant. Commentators point out that a struggle is at present going on to resist the inroads of the Reds in the Union Congress. Like Australian Reds they arc seeking to white-ant the unions as a preliminary to gaining control of the congress, but so far they have been most unsuccessful. An outstanding fact is that the last congress decision refusing Communists affiliation or union membership is proving a hopeless failure.
