BIG DEBATE EXPECTED
TRADES UNIONS BILL Three and a-Half Days for Second Reading GOVERNMENT’S BIG CAMPAIGN [By Telegraph—Per Press Assn.—Copyright.] Received April 29, 7.30 p.m. (A. & N.Z.) LONDON, April 29. The Government has allotted an exceptionally lengthy period for the second reading debate on the Trade Unions Bill, namely three and a half Parliamentary days, beginning on Monday, when the Attorney-General opens the discussion. Mr J. R. Ceynes will immediately move the rejection of the Bill. The Liberal attitude is still somewhat obscure. It will be no surprise if Sir John Simon commends the Bill, but it is expected that rather more than half of the Liberal members of the House of Commons will vote against it on the second reading. In the meantime, the Unionist organisations arc not allowing the Labourites to have matters all their own way* in the country, and 1000 indoor and outdoor meetings in support of the Bill have already been arranged. Ten Cabinet Ministers, including Mr Winston Churchill and the Earl of Birkenhead have undertaken to address mass meetings. Mr Arthur Henderson and Mr Citrine, of the Labour Party, are appealing for campaign funds.
