He did not despair of constitutional methods. There was no political reform which the workers of Britain were unable to achieve by ballot. "Direct action was unnecessary, and a confession of failure. He deplored sectional strikes.
He predicted the early return of a Labour Government for Britain.
Mr. Bunning declared that increased output was only, obtainable by the co operation of employers and workers, and the lattes were willing to do their share. (Cheers).
He urged that the reputation of Trade Unionists for keeping their bargaina must. be upheld, especially in view of the prob- ability of an early establishment of a Labour Government. (Cheers).
The Congress passed a resolution in- atructing the Labour Parliamentary Com mittee to draft a practical and effective policy for the control of industry which would destroy such capitalist schemes as co-partnership and dividend-sharing.
The Congress also passed a resolution, by a large majority, in favour of free trade.
