THE HAWKER PROBLEM

(By Robert Lloyd).

Brighton, Oct. 21. Mr. Charles Dukes, General Secretary of the powerful General Municipal Workers Union and this year's President of the Trades Union Congress, made British trade union history today with his presidential address delivered to 800 delegates of 192 unions in the opening. session of the Congress here.

For the first time a president of the Trades Union Congress called on the movement to take ac- tive responsibility for industrial efficiency, to! use the opportunity now given to develop workers' participation in the conduct of indus- try, to adapt its wages policy in negotiating methods to new conditions and to re-consider restrictive trade union practices, which had been adapted in a different age when the fear of unemployment was still paramount. His views were given added | weight by the manner in which

The new measure, which "was

day, and is designed to drive the unlicensed food hawker off the streets of the Colony, is admitted to be an invasion of the rule of law and to be uncommonly dras- rie in, its operation. The inten- tion is to by-pass the Courts and authorise seizure, forfeiture and disposal of the hawkers' stock-in-trade by officers acting under the authority of the. Urban Council. In justification of arbitrary action of this nature, it is argued that the danger to health requires that, there be no delay in confiscation and disposal of perishable commodities. Of the greater danger, the creation of an extended field for graft and cor- ruption, sight appears to have been lost. If it is truc, and of course it is well known to be so, that the control of, hawkers- has

Even if it is realised that there may still be opposition when resolutions about produc tivity and workers' participa- tion in conduct of industry are introduced, there is no doubt that Mr. Dukes' address will have a favourable reaction.

On the "closed shop" issue, toe, the President tock a de- finite line, defending the right of every union to initiate hundred per cent organisation in every workshop, where it is strong enough, but deprecating the idea of forcing rival unions out of business by what he call cd "headon collision."
