(By Leased Wire to New M~exican.)
Birmingham, Eng Sept. 6.EThe
Trades Union Congress, representing
nearly $500, 900 organized workers Of
Great Britain, with a majority OF more
than 10000 600 votes, today adopted a
resolution virtually endorsing the
principle of protection.
The resolution asks for 'the adop-
ton Of methods for restricting or pre-
venting the importation of cheap man
ufactured goods produced at lower
rates of wages and under worse labor
conditions than prevailing in this
country
Although these words themselves
accept the principle of a protective
tariff wall, the protectionists among
the labor delegates and in other cir
cles are not inclined to regard the
workmen as having been won over to
a complete change fdom free trade.
One labor leader in the house OF
commons said the meaning Of the res
olution was merely hiatt measures
should be taken to investigate the
origin of goods and conditions under
which they are produced with a view
to preventing the unloading Of cheap
goods in this country after the war,
which is much feared.
