TRADES FEDERATION. A ROSEATE SCHEME.

On Tuesdey evening Kr. P. King of the Clarion Treiles Federation scheme delivered an ridded" in one of the lower rooms of the Cambridge Hall under the auspices of the South. port Trades Comical. Mr.

K. Proudfuot, J.P., presided user numerous attendance, and for the absence of the premident of the exir.eit. Mr. D. Richards.

and elm the vice-preadent, Mr. I. Bond, J.P 11w chairman that Mr. Xing was the pint author with Nunquain Blatchford), of the' Clarion, of a schema of trades federation by which the working people in I their different occupor gone could obtain the best and the het rentuneraum for their labour. That scheme had been circulated by pamphlet all mu the country, and.

in commussee of the tremendous lower of the employers' fedora. uon. the wo.lers had adopted a which they beleed was the hest for the protection of then Manila tApplauw.) Mr. Ling said be took up the question of trade. federation because at one tune he oat connected with a trades union.

There was no federation of I mailers then, and be found that tradesmen were' able to obtain anything that was reasonably demanded. They sumeMed to getting an adeanee in wages of from M. to Cl se. a week, which was rather a substantial advance. They also eueoeedeil in eeducing the hours of labour from 12 to 6 hours, and obtained other advanters that made them perfectly satisfied with the cider, unions that then existed.

When the federation of employers took place he realised that it was all up with the trades tunaus individually, and he told the men so, with remelts that were Litemitious to the trades unions. He, however, theught it possible to meet the int.s.ers on equal terms with the scheme which he wee iii.out to trubron to the meeting. He dal not want them to accept the scheme unless. they were eatieked that it was practical and imitable He did not acme there as Socialist. or member of the Social Democratic Federation, and he weir not there as a Liberal or.

Tory. He was there as trades bi the scheme laid before ttie Cardiff Otttferenee it was stated that preview' schemes of federation bad failed because they went on the of Laing an equal payment, and getting corresponding for the paymerd. Is the Clonal' scheme they fixed an equal paymem and gave oorreepondang benefits. At the conference it wee euggested that each trades union with. membership of from 1000 to SCOO should send a delegate.

That meant that the smaller unions would be disfranchised. The Clarion scheme rave one man one vote; practically every roam had a vote, and all votes were of equal value. It. then proceeded to demonstrate upon a blackboard the iiiilloCiai basis of his scheme, showing how the societies muid be federated on stnet terms of notwithstanding the etrength of their lies trguree, be mid, were startling, but andumeable, and would give the working men an insvht into the inimenes power they poscresed if they would telly tee it. There were 1200 trade union societies in the country, ant, with a sulsociption of impence week each men would be entitled in the event of any one society being on strike to over £24 week! They could thus bring out 24 societies, said give each man £1 pre week.

If the subscription was reduced to one halfpenny week, then each men mild be entitled to £2 a week. A year's lecterns of each meet, should be pooled as a guarantee. It there had been nety federated before the enginee-v canoe out, and the aigrettes had been mewled to the full week's there would have Meet £210.4130 up to now to back than up, and £15,000 a week coming a. 14 to now they had spent of their own money, to that they would now have had le their credit. Reopening the 1203 soeseure with their two million members bad been federated at ad.

a week there would be an income of £50.000 a werk. Had they al" been federated prior to the engineers' Metre. and the engineers bad been mulled to full ereeldy ineonfe of all the other me-tetra, it would make £100.606. The (noting of the year's illieDine of all federated societies would mean that before any trade came out there would be a rum of at their disposal if the contributients Were del. per week.

Those who were to reeena £2 per week ill the event of a strike would have to par 6d per week, thom whit got £1 per week would be called upon for 3d. There would be no increase in the potent contribution in the sociclies the money would only be demanded when was engaged ins strike or lock-out. He believed. that if they had such a federation as that in existence. in Pace ef hundred strikes erbieli now took place there would not be one, because the would me that it was to contend against so powerful an orearusatice and would concede the returnable dementia male.

He wntrld not place that money in the hands it the labour but would leave the rank 'nil file free hand to say what should be done with their nansay. When he spoke of the trade elven leilitheW he said he did not some thole he was se- Aisserened to meet. He would not say what he thought of them.
