Union Chiefs Keep Posts

Government Bill To Be Introduced

SPECIAL TO THE "TELEGRAPH" LONDON, Feb. 11 (UP).- One of the most significant events of the past week was the introduction of a Government: Bill, which, if carried, will per- mit Trade Union leaders to re- tain their offices for the duration of the war without the necessity of seeking re-election..

Union

As the majority of Trade officials are strongly in favour of the prosecution of the war and also of ald for Finland," the legislation will assist

In Insuring a continuity of Trade Union policy without the necessity of struggling with a re- calcitrant minority.

Abolition of the annual T.U.C. con- ference will also prevent Left-wingers from opposing rank and file sent!- ment.

Similar legislation was adopted during the Great War.

"A very gallant action has been fought by three comparatively small British ships against a much heavily armed adversary." The Prime Minister used those words in the House of Commons about the battle of the crisers Exeter, Achilles, and Ajax against the German battleship, Admiral Graf Spec.

In the artist's impression above, the Graf Spoc is seen with three of her six 11-inch guns in action under a hail of sholls from the British eight-inch and six-inch batṭeries.
