London, November 9,
Trade union leaders representing 8,000,000 workers
tonight announced that they had at last prog duced a wages policy following the devalug- tion of the pound but refused to publish de- tails.

trade union confusion caused by the absence of a policy statement was' exemptied · by two unicus. One, the National Union of Boot and Shoe Opera- tives, decided to shelve its wage clairas of 10 shillings a week in view of the country's economic situation. The other, the Amal- gamated Engineering Union, de- cided to call a conference of en- gineers from all over the country to ask them for their ideas on campaigning for a £1 a week wage increase-Reuter.
