UN|ONISM in
ENGLAND
IBy Latest NALL

NEWCASTLE, Eng. - At the annual
congress of the Women's Cooperative
Guild. held at Newcastle, resolution
was passed providing that it should be
a condition OF employment in coopera-
tive societies that all employees, both
men and women, should belong to a
trade union
The mover, Mrs. Barton. declared
that this did not involve compulsion;
ii meant real cooperative effort. A
non-unionist was often a person who
only needed a very little persuasion
to come inside. After some discus
sion, the resolution was passed with
about % dissentients.
On the question of adult suffrage a
resolution was moved by Mrs. Essery
of Plymouth, calling on every guild
branch to redouble its efforts on be-
half of women's suffrage, and to press
persistently on their members of par
lament that government measure of
adult suffrage was the only just and
practical solution of the question.
Adult suffrage meant equal rights,
one man one vote, one woman one
vote. 1t was said, remarked the
speaker, that women did not want the
vote. but they did, and particularly
the married women. The resolution
was carried with 81 dissentients.
