TUC TO PROTEST OVER HIGH COST OF LIVING
London, August 29.
A red-hot battle over Britain's riso in living costs is likely to be staged at the 18th Trades Union Congress opening on September 6 at the sea- side town of Margate,
The number and tone of the resolutions, on the agenda indicate the heavy and growing resent- ment of the results of the Government's six- month old policy of freezing wages and prices.
Nine resolutions protesting at the mounting prices are down, for debate, and one--put for- ward by the National Union of Vehicle Builders-bluntly asks Congress to tell the Govern- ment it no longer supports its policy because that support was dependent on something that has not happened-a reduction of prices and a curtailment of bigger profits.
