TRADEs UNION CONGRESS-.
Unusual Number of Women and
Americans Present

New York, Sept. 3.-The Trades Union
congress which met at Swansea, Wales,
quickly settled down to the work, says
the Tribune's London correspondent.
The standing orders had been amended
so as to provide for the appointment of
special committees by the various
trades for dealing with proposals aHect-
ing industries and also to dispense with
the former practice of electing a chair
man nominated by the local trade coun-
ellis The chairman of the parliamentary
committee presided eX-Off1clo over the
congress, and was in touch with the i'm
portant issues of the session Alderman
BoWerman had already made reputa-
ton as one of the best organizers of the
printing trade unions and as secretary
of the London Society of CompositOrs.
About 400 delegates were present, in
cluding more women than usual, and
several Representatives of American
trade unionism.
This session is regarded as the most
important labor conference in recent
years. 1t has become necessary to
adopt defensive measures against the
Taf Vale decision of the house of lords,
which transformed trade unions from
voluntary associations without collect
i've liability into responsible organ4za
tions with full liability for acts of
their officials. That decision has en-
powered the employers to obtain in
functions against trades unions and to
sue them for damages
The present congress will discuss the
bearings Of the recent decisions respect
ing picketing and the liability Of trades
unions Probably it will instruct its
parliamentary committee to obtain
from the house of lords a closer defini-
ton of picketing than the decision
which the Taft Vale ruling sets forth.
This viii be hardly more than a half
measure, for the purpose of informa-
ton The ablest trades unionists con-
tend that more radical measures are
required for the emergency: that the
izations to the penalties of financial La
bility for acts of their officials without
arming them with the privileges of cor
pora tons and Of trusts. and that a
fresh charter Of liberty and independ-
ence is indispensable for the interests
of Workingmen.
