LABOUR AND REDS.
CONFLICT AT BELFAST. DECISIVE BREACH MADE. Communists have had what probably will be their last hearing at a Trades Union Congress, says the Belfast correspondent of the London Times. In replying to the general council’s disclosure about the disruptive tactics of Communists instructed from Moscow, speakers said the policy of industrial co-operation was the true cause of the ineffectiveness of the union and the decline in membership. It was alleged that there had been collaboration between the employers and the general council to suggest the expulsion of militant members who already had been victimised by the employers. ... The secretary of the congress, Mr Walter Citrine, retorted that the prolonged forbearance of the British trades unions in the face of Communist attacks had excited the astonished scorn of Labour leaders throughout the world. , , ~ The meeting thereupon loudly acclaimed the council’s report affirming that Communists had constantly endeavoured to divide aaid conquer every working class organisation in Britain with the object ot imposing a Communist autocracy.
