British trade unionists today pledged them- selves to think hard about the nation's economic crisis before asking for more pay.
In the face of strong Communist opposition, the 900 delegates representing eight million workers at the Trades Union Congress meeting here promised they would be "moderate" and "reasonable" before demanding wage increases.
But they made it clear that,
