Significance OF the Trades Union Con.
EreSS.

Tho on tcome OF the Trades Union Con-
gross. which was held last week in Newcas-
tie. was moro definite and important than
might have been expected from tho tenor
and results OF the earlier debates. Tho So
called New Un!onists, some Of whose most
conspicuous members are Socialists. and all
OF whom favor compulsory eight-hour
day, proved In tho end masters OF the assem-
bly,. Some preliminary steps were also
taken for tho formation OF distinct labor
party. but 1t Is unlikely that an organiza-
ton to that ond will be effected until after
the next general election.
Several trials OF strength ware needed to
bring out tho respective force OF the con-
scrvative and progressive clements. The
relative weight Of tho two factions was left
undetermined by tho resolution calling on
Lord SALISBURY to invite tho European
Governments to a conference for tho plr-
pose OF arranging an international labor
day. The decisive battle was fought over
tho question whether Parliament should 10

hour day by statute. Tho miners OF tho

selves against any legislative inter-
ference with the hours OF work. Per-
cciving themselves outnumbercd, they
ut first induced tho Congress to accept u
compromise to tho effect that q bill fixing
the hours OF labor ought to bo OF permits
sive or optional character. Tho resolution
embodylpg this compromise provided that
tho eight-hour law when passed should not DO

OF two-thirds of tho organized members OF
tho trade concerned. Upon reflection tho

rcconciling such provision with the prln-
ciple OF q legal working day. What, they
asked. was the uso OF passing a statute

could prevent its application They
accordingly moved an amendment declar-
Ing that the eight-hour law should be en-
forced in all trades and occupations except
where majority OF tho organized members
In any trade should protest by ballot against
the proposal. After long and stormy de-
bate this amendment was not only carried,
but having been transformed into sub
stantlve resolution. was finally adopted by
vote of al to7s.

clares that while Mr.. FAssETr Is the

will be the mere creature and tool Of polit-

There has been no change in the control
