BRITISH LABOR MEN

Every Effort Will Be Made

Line With the Allies.

LONDON, May 5, $3.50 p. ma
small fraction of the Independent
Labor party recently published a
statement that British labor was not
fully represented by Will Thorne and
James O'Grady, labor leaders and
members of parliament. who have
gone to Russia on a mission ostensibly
as representatives of labor in Great
Britain, to explain to Aussian labor
leaders the position of British labor
in the war
Today Henry NJ Hyndman, leader
of the British Socialists, gave to the
Associated Press a copy of a message
he has sent to A. f. Kerensky, Rus
sian minister OF justice and a Socialist
contradicting the claims made against
Thorne and O'Grady. The message
said:
'I contradict most emphatically the
lying statement Of the independent
labor party that Thorne and O'Grady
do not fully represent British labor.
They act for and represent organized
labor in Great Britain as completely
as any workingman could possibly do
ct have worked side by side with
Thorne for S5 years as thorogoing
Social Democrat. He has done mag
nificent work for his class as mem
ber of parliament and as secretary OF
by far the strongest unskilled labor
union in this country. He has never
given way in the least.
"O'Grady I have known almost
equally well for many years. He has
steadily fought good fight for po-
litical, social and economic freedom.
You can emphatically rely on them
both"
