The main question before the British
trades union congress. which met at
Swansea. Wales. Sept 2. vested the
gathering with unusual Importance. It
Is felt BY the men that the very life Of
the unions as IT present organized is
threatened by a recent decision Of the
house OF lords arising out OF a strike
in the Tan Vale colliery district in
Wales. Under the decision trades
unions cease 10 be voluntary associa-
fioEs without collective liability, ami
become responsible organizations with
fun liability for acts Of their officials.
Employers have been enabled to secure
fnianctions against pieketing Of their
works BY union men and have even
entered damage suits against unions
The unions contend that they are ex-
posed 10 financial liability while still
denied the privileges Of corporations,
and that their funds are thus placed
Al the mercy Of employers. Strenuous
efforts viii be made TO secure redress
in parliament and to alter the eonsti-
tutfons Of the unions 30 as to minimize
their liability to action. Strikes are
on the increase In France. but the ON
cial figures Of the ministry Of COM
meree. just published, present rather
gloomy aspect from the strikers point
OF view. or the 740 strikes In 1899 the
proportion IT. which the men obtained
what they struck for was "a per cent
ana of the 902 strikes in 1900. It was
22.73 per cent An average percentage
OF 1856 have utterly collapsed, and IN
the remainder con- promise "ai
reached only after long struggle II
which the workers naturally suffered
the most severely.
