GOVERNMENT IS
FACING CRISIS
EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE INTRO
DUCES RESOLUTION OPPOSING
COMPULSORY SERVICE.
LABOR DOES PART
The Resolution Points Out that the
Labor UniOnists Have Done More
Than Their Part in the
Present War.

LONDON. Jan. GA resolution
protesting "in the name of three
million trade unionists" against
compulsory military service was in
troduced by the executive commit
tee when the National Labor con-
gress met at Westminster today.
The resolution contained expressions
of regret that the solidarity of
the nation is gravely imperiled,
and that Industrial and political lib
erty is menaced by the govern
ments attitude on conscription."
majority of the nine hundred
delegates representing four hun
|dred labor organizations were out
spoken in their opposition to con-
|scription in any form. One group
|drafted resolution calling upon
Arthur Henderson, labor member
of the cabinet, to resign Immediate
by. Scattered throughout the hall
where the convention was in session
were number of labor members of
parliament.
Preceding the introduction of the
anti-conscriptionists resolution the
Executive committee presented a
lengthy report emphasizing labor's
"deep rooted traditional and un-
compromising hostility" to conscrip-
Ition.
This hostility cannot be out
raged with impunity," read the res
olution. This was greeted by
storm of applause.
The committee offered figures to
show that labor had done more
than its part in the war. Recent
Figures from the large induFtrial
centers, with reports of various la
Dor unions. were presented to show
THAT the labor forces had been de-
Ipleted by the war.
1t was generally expected that
the delegates would pass resolu-
tion in opposition to conscription,
but the government had hopes that
some Of the trade unionist leaders
would oppose the resolution IN
speeches before the convention
The Daily News viewed the situa-
tion pessimistically. predicting no.
only the resignation of Henderson,
labor leader in the cabinet. but also
a grave domestic crisis resulting IN
a general election in a few weeks.
1t said the government was lacking
in vitality and predicted that gen.
eral election would result in nam
ing a new ministry in which
Lloyd George would be member
The Daily Mail declared that the
government is facing great inter-
nal crisis from the war. 1t said
The labor congress can vote
overwhelmingly against compui-
sion What will be the task OF the
government to enforce this law
against the insurgent labor world
The Chronicle and Evening POST
attacked the government bill, but
it is supported by the Times ana

ties and Irish party leaders IN

standing it is consider oo"tain
that the government conscrip-.ol
