BAD OUTLOOK FOR

T.U.C. PREDICTION.

The report of the Generat. Coun- ell to the Trades Union Congress, which opened in Bristol on Sept. 7. was issued recently.

This report was written before the pe ileal situation became acute. The Economie Committee of the Council atate, in n. memorandumi adopted by the Counell:

The Economic Committee sum up their conclusions as follow:

The report contains a precis of the evidence given to the Macmillan Committee. Thia showed th Council to be against reductions of wages as a remedy for economic troubles; suggested that while they were willing to examine the casc for a general tariif they were not yet convinced that it would lift us out of the present situation, and called for consideration of the gold standard or "a re-adjustment of the relation between our currency and gold."

Djonetary System.

The Economic Committee do not suggest that monetary re-adjust- ment alone will bring about a trade revival, adding:

"Full international co-operation: in the economic field is essential to' the realisation of world prosperity."

Against "Cuts."

In the light of the events of the the following daya last ten paragraph on Social Insurance, showing the mind of the General Council, is of considerable interest:

"Unemployment Insurance, Health Insurance, Pensions, and the whole range of questions connected | with the safety and welfare of the worker, have again furnished some of the most considerable of the pro- blems with which the General Cóun- ell have had to deul.
