The Trades Union Congress-Its DEM
oerattc Character-ContestB Between
the Old and New Unfonists-The
DardaneIles Matter.
Copyrighted by the Associated Press
LONDON, Sept. Although the new
unionists held an overwhelming majority
in the trades union congress they used
their power with moderation and discre-
ton, in marked contrast with last years
meeting. Socialistic to the last, land ma
tionalization and denunciations of capital
we're not permitted to occupy the attention
of the congress, the delegates applying
themselves to discussions of an immedi-
ately practical nature. The democratic
character of the congress was never more
pronounced, though socialistic views were
less obtrusive. The pervading tone of the
speeches showed an absolute conviction
that labor will within the near future
dominate parliament and make the coun-
try's laws. The old unionists displayed
the same consciousness of mastery of the
position as the new unionists, though
tanner in indicating their labor claims
and predictions of victory. The moder-
ates could not prevent the ultra
democratic section from passing some er-
ratio resolutions, such as the payment of
county councillors and vestrymen and
everybody holding representative place,
the appointment of workmen on iuries and
the payment of every juryman ten shillings
per day-proposals which in general point
to aspirations on the part of the delegates
for future spoils of Office.
The proceedings eliminated to-day in a
contest between the old and the new union
lists over the election of parliamentary
committee. The existing committee has a
large element of old unionists and moderate
men desiring to reform the constitution.
The voting proceeded quietly and Mr.. Will
son, M. P, announced that the results
would be declared tomorrow. Report
