SYND|CAL|SM IS
BADLY DEFEATED
Resolution Which Syndical-
lists Opposed Passed by
Trades Union Congress

Newport, England September g.
Syndicaism was crushingly defeated at
the Trades Union congress here today
by adoption of an overwhelming ma
jority of a resolution, which the syn
dicalists strenously opposed, pledging
the support Of the independent working
class of Great Britain to political ac-
tion in the industrial fight for a more
equitable share of the wealth of the
country. Syndicalism is the most dis
cussed feature of present day social
ism. 1t is a movement for placing
means of production such as factories,
mines and railways under control of
the workmen themselves.
Delegates representing 1.967,109
workers are in attendance upon the
congress. In spite of the story year,
labor has experienced in England the
number of members of the affiliated
unions represented is 304, 1916 more than
last year. Although it is said the treas
uries of the unions are almost empty
by reason of the strikes during the
last year the figures given above are
ohsidered to Indicate that the valid
ity of English trades unionism is I'M
impaired.
