MR. OLYNES ON PLAYING AT REVOLUTION.

1

The National Federation of General Workers represents a combination of 139 Industries, with a membership of 992,200, ipeluding 150,450 women, and at Annual General Council meeting, held st Manchester on August 14th., Mr. J. B. Clynes, M.P., who delivered the presiden tial address, said while he intended so express his personal views. those views were, in the main, the opinions of the Executive and of the numbers of the Federation.

After reminding the delegates" that fifty-one years ago the first Trades Union Congress was held in Manchester, Mr. Clynes said the Trade Union path of the workers battle had been won, but the economic battle had to be faced, and if they made a wise use of the political power which they had secured they could, he believed, win through in the struggle for economic emancipation. Fer centuries our manual workers had been politically and conomically in a state of servitude! now they were on the threshold of com plete freedom.

Problems had changed from year to year, Mr. Clynes continued, and they produced demands and new calls for re medies. The most recent of these was called direct action. I believe it co he mashamed, Mr. Clynes went do; 1 be lieve it would do io mure than bring us round after enormous loss to the point where we began it is now plain that lirret action has suffered such severe discredit by, the events of the past few days that the view held in some quarters that concessions have been won from the TJIBOD AS Government by the threat to take direct action is a pretence so thin that no one TJIMANOEK will be deceived by it. I think it better that the plan should stand discredited than that Labour should have to suffer loss and damage which would have resul: ed from an attempt to carry out the threat of direct action.

MOST TO LOSER, LEAST TU GÜN,

Let is consider the policy as it might affect the membership of this Federation. Our members have most to lose and the lenst possible to gain from the movement which would dives the industrial ener gies of the organised werkers towards re- modelling the political or economie con- ditions of people in Russia or elsewhere. Direct netion cannot remove the economie and social grievances of our own class in this country.. Those grievances are oar Erst responsibility and to strike for a vague, defned or alien purpose woull be to squander the resources of the work ers without the slightest protect of per manent, social, or industrial improve ment. In that sense direct action would. turn out to be the most indirect and most roundabout way of trying to improve the wage-earners' position. We must refuse to be made a tool for trying to attain the

"PLAYING AT REVOLUTION.

It is folly to ask for strikes in this country in a way which would at best leave us unchanged in regard to a better standard of living, Inevitable discon. tent, following upon great world: struggle. might, of course, be thought to be an opportunity for a dictator, it might be the proper moment for playing at re rolation, but the wurkers collectively interested must be lifted above the reckless- ness of men who fail to see that the work. ers themselves now possess, political power wholly suficient to secure their position. alone through the agency of Parliament, and without any sacrifice whatever of the greatest and most enduring economie changes (Cheers.) We all want revolu tion in

sense. We want a new and im proved standard of life for the masses of the people, in which overwork and poverty will vanish. but the changes we desire would be beneficent and lasting if they came through con-titutional efforts by the will of majorities and through the general acceptance of the people (Cheers.)

MB. BEN TILLETT'S SUOCESTION.

Mr. Ben Tillert. in moving a vote of thanks to the president, said if direct action were intelligible, seientibc, well- organised, and accepted constitutionally by the workers, he would be enthusiastic for that development, but they had to set experience and education against acade mic Ruskinian theories. There were some people he bad in mind who ought to be put in harness for ten years before being allowed to explain their opinions at all.

Mr. C. Duncan, in seconding," said there was plenty of room for a revolution. In the Trade Union movement, seeing that there were nine millians still unorganised, so that at present ench Trade Unionist had to carry two non-Unionists on his back.

ANOTHER BIG CONTRACT LOST.

A Correspondent writes: To, the big! contracta overseas, which we are weekly losing through the suicidal strike mania, ia now expected to be added an important order about to be placed by the De Beers Company for £1,000,000 of new machi nery for the South African Diamond maines. Were it possible, the directors would much prefer to give this country the benefit of this large business, even at enhanced prices as compared with those)

A time limit is nf foreign competitors. however, essential for the delivery of the machinery in question and to this, in view of the present labour situation bete British manufacturers. generally find themselves unable to agree. As a result, it is anticipated the order will have to be placed in America. Enquiries made in Fother circles yesterday have also elicited. the fact that largely, for similar reasons, it is now next to impossible to place contracts in this country for copper-wire,
