THE TRADES-UNION CONGRESS.
AGE LIMIT FOR CHILDREN-A POLITICAL FEAT
URE-INTEREsT IN THE SESSIONS

UKE-lNTEREST IN THE SESSI ONS.
Newcastle, Sept 1o.-Among the subjects brought
before the Trades-UnOn Congress this morning
that OF The age at which children should be allowed
to work in factories. The great majority Of the dele
gates were in favor of rasingthe limit Of age basiDG
their arguments upon humane and moral principles
the minority urged that raising the limit would be tho
means Of taking certain portion Of the daily bread
out OF the mouths Of many poor families who could
not afford such loss. Finally motion to raise the
age limit 10 thirteen years was passed by vote Of
285 to lG3.
To-day one of the political features of the
work before the congress developed. It
arose when the question Of paying mem
bers OF Parliament came up for discussion.
It was announced that this question, as well its
kindred questions, those OF the payment Of members
OF County Councils and School Boards, would come
up prominently at the next session of Parliament
and that tho willingness of a candidate for Parlis
ment at the coming general election to vote for
these payments would be made Of the tests upon
which the tadesunioDlss will decide whether or not
TO support such a candidate. 1t will thus be seen
that the labor party inclined to ignore the old
political parties the whole, and to support those
candidates who will support measures advocated by
the Trades Union Congress.
Interest in the dOings Of the congress seems TO in
crease day by day, and even the most conservative
politicians appear to be awakening to the fact that the
deliberations Of these delegates representing 1,5000O
workmen, may have powerful influence upon the
politics Of the future. The vote yesterday on the
amendment to the Eight-Hour law resolution has
eated the extremists, practically OverTIlng the
previous "permSsive" amendment The majority Of
the labor unions have recognized the hOpeessness Of
a compulsory EightIIou bill passing the House Of
Commons, TO say nothing of the House OF Lords, and
measure. outlined in optional form. as the line
Of attack likely to meet with the least resistance and as
best calculated TO keep labor interests TO the front
In Parliament and out of IL.
