FRENCHMEN, SCOTS, AND RUGBY.

EDINBUROE, January 13th. The Independent Labour party or ganisation in Scotland, which held a divisional conference in Edinburgh is deeply tinged with Socialism of the Clydeside hue. Its self-adopted mission appears to be to ginger up the i moves. ment as a whole, which is becoming too! Fabian in tactics to suit its taste. The issue which at the moment is causing embarrassment among the Labour-So- cialists is whether, in the event o industries being nationalised, compensa tion should be awarded or not. The annual conference of the Labour party at Liverpool declared that it should; the Trade Union Congress at Scarborough decided that it should not. It is known that the Parliamentary Sucialist party, who were asked by the miners to promote. another Bill for nationalisation of the mines, could not agree upon this ques tion of compensation os confiscation.
