A FEDERATION
OF All British Trades Unions Pro.
posed By the Birmingham Con-
greSS.

Birmingham, Eng, September TO-
The Trades Union Congress to-day
passed resolution instructing the par
llamentary committee to collect and
distribute special fund to assist the
striking engineers.
Later the congress suspended Stand
ing orders in order to discuss a reso-
luton on national federation" intro
duced by the national plate glass bevel-
lers' trade union. 1t reads:
This congress is of an opinion that
nothing short Of national federation of
all trades and industries will relieve
the workers in their present unsatis-
factory condition and instructs the par
llamentary committee to issue a circu-
lar, based on this national system of
federation, with view to enlist the
cooperation of all organized workers
throughout Great Britain"
The resolution was adopted with en-.
thusiasm, on the urging of one speak
er, who claimed that if a single union
was not strong enough to defeat capi-
tai, the time had come to form national
federation of unions.
