BRISTOL. England, Jan. 2s.-
strongly worded resolutions adyo-
eating drastic reductions in arma-
ment and other measures designed
to prevent future wars were adopt
ed at tho closing session Of the con
ference of delegates representing
more than two million workmen.
The resolution was offored just
before adjournment and vas passed
@ith hurrahs from all sides OF the
hall
The resolutions urged that the
anal peace agreement at the conclu-
sion of the present war include
these features:
First, an agreement by all the
European powers for drastic redue-
ton in armament and other meas
ures to insure future peace.
Second, an international agree
ment that no territory be acquired
by any power without the consent
of the Inhabitants.
Third, the establishment OF an in
ternational consulate
Another resolution was adopted
by a unanimous veto urging. as far
as possible, that the expense of the
war be met by heavier taxation on
large incomes, by state acquisition
OF railways. mines and shipping in
terests and the business of insurance
and banking.
Though the conference adopted
by an overwhelming majority res-
olution opposing conscription in any
form and principle the advocates Of
the governments policy won dis
tlnct victory In the three days ses-
sion of the labor representatives
The delegates not only favored
energetic opposition to the enforce
ment OF CONSUMPTION, but passed a
resolution plcdging support to the
government.
A resolution disappearing the res
ignation of labor members of the
coalition cabinet who supported con-
scription was another government
victory.
