British Trade Congress.

Mr.. Samuel Gompers. president OF the
American Federation OF Labor: Mr.. James
Duncan. vice president, and Mr. Frank
Morrison. secretary. will leave tomorrow
morning for Kansas City. Mo. to attend the
annual convention OF the order which be-
gins In that city Monday. At the annual
convention of the American Federation OF
Labor last December, in Nashville, Tenn.
Mr. Duncan and Mr. John 3. Lloyd, also
prominent leader were elected TO represent
the trades unions of the Gnited States in
the British trade congress. which met at
Bristol. England Both attended the con-
gress and part OF Mr., Duncan's report to
the coming convention will be as follows:
The methods of procedure among the
trades uniouists in both North America and
Great Britain are intended to create a SCI
Idarity of opinion trade union lines FOR
the uniform benefit of the workers on gotn
sides of the Atlantic. Between conventions
OF the british trade congress the work at
the annual meetings is given in charge of
what is known as the parliamentary COM
mittee on this side the work performed by
the above mentioned parliam9 9atary COM
mlttee is transacted by the executive conn
Gil of the American Federation of Labor
Shortening of the hours of labor and
IN some industries Increase of wages are
the principal motives the unions on both
SIDES OF the Atlantic have in view But
these are carried out on strictly trade lines
which the services of tie parliamentary
committee, or our executive council are lit
tie sought. except for advice Along lesis-
1atlVe lines the parliamentary committee
as its name implies, takes hold of the diff
fefent bills the trades unionists of Great
Britain desire passed by the British par
Lament, i1st the same as the executive
committee takes hold of national leefsIa-
tion ON behalf of affiliated unions in this
country, and endeavors to have them
enacted into law. Judged in this wise
our British cousins have been able to pro-
duce better results than we on this side
have.
The British trades unionists have been
able to have such bills passed as the fac
tory acts OF Great Britain, the employers
liability act and the various shipping acts,
which are well known to be so protective of
the rights and lives of British seamen The
first national law reduced the hours of
labor of factory workers, and provided for
the limitation of certain dangerous and
poisonous empioyments by prohibiting the
employment of women and children there
on. The same law protects the factory
workers in the payment of their wages, and
In many ways has been such a help to them
that 1t fs no wonder that their skill defies
the competition of the world.
THE unions IN Great Britain have got
parliament to declare in favor of an eight
hour day on government work. and the
unions of the United States expect to have
similar law by next Christmas, the pend
ing eight-hour bill In Congress having been
passed by unanimous vote by the House
of Representatives, and being now on file
III the Senate for passage, it having passed
the committee stages before the recent ad-
journment.'
