Meeting of the Congress of Trades
Unions at Edinburgh.
ONLY REAL WORKERS IN IT.
The Convention Will Sit Throughout the
“’eek—A Great Mass of Resolu-
tions to Be Acted Upon—Some
of the Important Measures.
EDINBURGH, Sept. 8.-—The twenty-ninth
annual trades union congress of Great
rooms, George street, this city, at noon to-
day. About 360 delegates were in attend-
ance. The congress will close Saturday,
Sept. 12.
The vehement arguments and bitter per-‘
sonalities of the twenty-eighth congress,
held at Cardiff in 1895, will not be repeat-
ed this year, as the new constitution adopt-
ed then. directed the improved formation
of the congress of 1896. John Burns, Keir
Hardio and Henry Broadhurst are not
present. There are, however, numbers of
workingmen, such as the N orthumberland
and Durham Miners’ union and the Boiler
Makers’ union, who latterly have taken no
part in the annual congress.
Mr. Samuel Woods, secretary of the par—
liamentary committee, in an interview
previous to the meeting today, said:
“We have not more than 360 delegates
this year, owing to the new standing or-
ders, and our congress [is much more work-
able. Under the old constitution there
would have been over 700 delegates. The
delegates this year are only bona fide work-
ers at their trade and legal members of
trade societies. No person can be a dele-
(gate unless he is actually working at his
trade at the time of his appointment or is
a permanent, paid working ofl‘icial of his
trade union. This was definitely settled
in the heated debates at Cardiff last year.
Possible Cause of Friction.
“We are likely, however, to have a rub
or two over an nttempt’to revert to the old
way of voting, where each union or body
represented had one vote. Under the new.
standing orders each delegate has one vote
for every 1,000 workers whom he repre-
do not think it will be overthrown.
“We have about 30 more trades unions
represen'ted this year than last, about 20
of which have never been represented be-
fore. There are two American delegates,
Messrs. Strasser and Sullivan.”
The work of the present congress is ex-
ceedingly ambitious when the time avail-
able is considered. The parliamentary
committee, of which Edward Cowey of
the Yorkshire miners is chairman, and
also president of the congress, has pre-
pared a programme embodied in 11 reso-
lutions, and the trades unions have sent up
no fewer than 81 resolutions for discus-
sion. ,To these notice of over 20 amend-
ments has been given. The two sets of
resolutions cover the widest field for dis—
cussion: '
The temper of the congress can perhaps
be gauged by a resolution of the paper
mill workers that no representative of the
press shall be allowed to report the pro«
ceedings unless he can prove that the jour-
nal he represents is “printed by trade
union labor and on paper manufactured in
the United Kingdom.”
A further intimation of the trend of this
congress is contained in a resolution pro-
posed by the power loom overlookers to
rescind the famous collectivist resolution
adopted at the Norwich congress of 1894
'on the initiative of Keir Hardie, and in its
place to substitute the following:
“That in the opinion of this congress it
is essential to the maintenance of British
industries to nationalize the land, mines,
minerals, royalty, rents and railways, and
municipalize all water,,artlficial light and
tramway undertakings within their sev—
eral authorities, and that the parliamen-
tary committee be instructed to promote
and support legislation with the above 0b-
'ect. ”
J The Eight Hour Question.
Councilor W. Thorns of the gas workers
will ask the congress to declare “that the
time has arrived when the hours of labor
should be limited to eight per day in all
trades and occupations in the United King-
dom.”
Mr. E. Harford of the railway men will
bring up the question of employers’ liabil-
ity by a resolution calling upon the gov-
ernment to so amend the existing act
“that among other things the responsibil-
ity may rest upon the employer for the
acts of his employees or of those of any
subdirector, irrespective of the acquies-
cence in or knowledge of any defect or
danger on the part of the person killed or
injured; that its provisions may apply to
the workers in all industries, on land or
sea, in private, state or municipal employ-
ment, and that contracting out be made
illegal.” '
Factory legislation, payment of mem-
bers of parliament, taxation of land values
and ground rents, which it is demanded be
made “a test question at the next general
election;” employment of children in fac-
torics and “their consequent exploitation
by the capitalist which is injurious to the
children, unjust to their parents and a
crime against the human race;” munic-
ipalization of docile, wharfs and ware-
houses; the releas’e of all political prison-
ers, grievances of civilian musicians, hours
of domestic servants, which are not to be
“more than 70 per week, including 1%
hours for meals per. day;” fair wages, comv
pensntion for injuries, the hours Of shop
'assistants, government contracts, oldage
pensions, education and public money and
many other matters all have places on the
‘ programme.
‘An Important Revolution.
1 The plate glass bevelers will offer this
important resolution:
“That the recent decisions of the judges
of the high court of justice in cases arising
out of trade disputes have made it abun-
dantly clear that the ‘trade union acts of
,1871 andV1876’ afford no efiectual protec-
tion against civil actions brought.against
oflicials of trade union and others who
are merely exercising the rights of combi-
nation supposed to be secured by those
acts, and» it is, therefore, most essential to
the continued and effective existence 'of
trade onions that the parliamentary com-
mittee of the trades union congress
should‘ endeavor to obtain such an amend-
ment of the ‘conspiracy and protection of
property act, 1875,’ as will protect those
who are legitimately exercising the right
of 'combinatiOn for trade purposes against
civil as well as criminal proceedings."
The Tailors’ society will attempt a
sweeping reform in the alteration of the
law of libel so “that it may'beccme lawful
foroany person, or persons acting in the in-
terests of the‘community, who are doing
so without malice, to expose in public
‘mectings or in the public press any firm

FINE RAGE T0 HAMMERSMITH
From That 'Point, However. the 'Antlpo:
dean “'as Beaten, and Gaudaur Won
as He Pleased by .Many Lengths.
Details of the Contest.
PUTNEY, England, Sept. 8. —- Jake
Gaudaur of Toronto, champion oarsman
of America, after a most disappointing
race today over the four mile course, from
Putney t0 Mortlake, defeated James ,H.
Stanbury of Australia, who recently beat.
”Wag” Harding for the championship of
the World. The race today was for the
world’s championship, 82.500 and The
Sportsman’s Cup. The weather was as
dismal' as could be, there were a foul, a
protest which was disregarded and Gau-
daur won by 20 lengths in 23 minutes 1
second.
It Would be ne‘easy task to imagine a,
more unsatisfactory race or more dis-
agreeable weather. The humidity was so
great that it looked'as though rain would
fall at any moment and there was scarcely
a breath of wind.
Both men were very nervous and fidgety
while at the stakeboatsmarking the start-
ing line. They broke away repeatedly, and
on two or three occasions, . when both
boats left their stations and a start might
have been effected, some hitch occurred
and there were 12 false starts before the
men actually got away and took the water
well together. i
This delay favored Gaudaur, it is
claimed, as the tide was running slower
when they ‘got away and both scullers
bent down to their work.
Stanburg In the Lead.
Gaudaur was certainly Slower in his first
few strokes than his rival, and Stanbury’s
higher rate of striking enabled him to
show the Toronto man the way during the
early part of the race. .
At the end of the first quarter mile Stan-
bury led by a foot, but Gaudaur put more
steam into his work and began to cut
down the Australian’s lead, with the re-
sult that at the third of a .mile the two
boats were level and so, continued for a
few strokes.
Gaudaur, however, had plenty of reserve
force, and, settling down to real business,
he drove his boat well to the front of his
rival’s before the half mile post was reach-
ed, and he passed that point in 2 minutes
21 seconds, leading by about a quarter of a
lengt .
Stanbury, it was noticed at this stage of‘
the race, appeared, to be in trouble, and the
oarsman from Toronto simply walked
away. from him, drawing clear at the
three-quarter mile post, and when the mile
mark was passed by the Canadian he was
a length and a half in front of the Austra-
lian sculler. Stanbury thereupon spurted
desperately as if attempting to foul Gau-
daur. The latter was straight ahead of
the Australian, and several times he drove
the Toronto man across the river.
When the oarsmen shot under Hammer-
smith bridge, the nose of the Australian's
shell was almost touching the stern of
Gaudaur’s boat and about two furlongs
above the bridge there was a slight touch.
Stanbury held up his hand and claimed a
foul. But. as both boats were in the cen-
ter of the river, the referee refused to ad-
mit the claim.
The Australian Out of It.
Stanbury, who had stopped rowing in
order to claim the foul, was now a badly
beaten man, and Gaudaur went right
away and won as be pleased.
The betting was 5 to 2'on Stanbury at
the start and 3 to 1 on Gaudaur after a
third of a mile had been rowed.
After the race Gaudaur left his shell at
Mortlake and climbed into the press boat
and said: .
“Tell the Canadians that I beat him
easily by 40 lengths and feel bully. It
was anybody’s race to Hammer-smith, but
after that he could not stay with me at all.
“I got away at the start cooler than
Stan bury, and better, too, than predicted. I
have won the championship back for Can-
ada, and Hanlan can put that in his pipe
and smoke it.”
Stanbury, in an interview, admitted
that he was fairly beaten, though, he add-
ed, he thought Gaudaur fouled him in his
(the Australian’s) water. He added, how-
ever:
“But the umpire disallowed it, so it’s all
right. The race was a hard one, but after
I had claimed a foul I did not exert my-
self.”
“Wag” Harding, recently defeated by
,Stanbury for the championship of the
world, was one of the professio'nals present
at the race, and he was interviewed. Hard-
ing remarked:
“There was no foul. I watched the race
as closely as possible, and I say they did
not touch. Besides, Stanbury came out to
Gaudaur and did the same as I did in my
race. with Sullivan. Anyhow, Stanbury
went all to pieces after passing Hammer-
smith bridge.” .
Socialists Barred Out.
LONDON, Sept. 3. —A dispatch from
Paris says: “Herren Bobel and Bush,*So-
cial Democrats, members of the reichstag
for Stressburg and Mulhausen, on being
refused permission to address the electors
on German soil, planned a Socialist meet-
ing at Wissembach, over the Freud: ‘fron-
tier. “ The French government got-wind of
' this,,and the German deputies were met at
the frontier with a decree of expulsion
from French territory.”
