party to a fraud. It concluded by sky
ing he would riot make a formal con-

amazement of both the Gltulstouinns
and the Conservatives, adds that for
lung years lie has been strongly of tills
opinion. The temperance party In
Groat Britain has been highly scandal
ized by this declaration mul their or-
guns recall Iho foot that when Glad
stone last came into power It was
largely owing to Ills having repeatedly
pledged himself to secure tho passage
of a local option measure. Consequent
ly during li.s Incumbency ot tlio pre
miership lie approval the bill, and did
u«t say a word In rerfereuco to tlio
Gothenburg system. Since Glndstouh’s
retirement Sir William llaroourr, Who
is Uls successor in tao leadership of
tho party, lias renewed tlio pledges
made absolutely and unqunllllodly com
mitting tlio government to tho Intro
duction of a local option lull before tho
dissolution of parliament.
Ill tlie ooursc of bis letter to Ihe Bisli

Sir Wilfred Lawson, M. F., president
of the United Kingdom Alliance for

It Will be the heaviest blow over dealt

Two of the strongest and -wealthiest
labor rganizatlna In Great Britain—tho
boilermakers’ and ohlpbulldcra’ unions
—hove issued a Joint manifesto denoun
cing the Socialistic tondcnclcu shown by
a majority of the delegates to tlie
trades union congress recently hold a t
Norwioli. The manifesto says In pfrt:
"We differ fundamentally with the
dreumy Ideas advanced. The congress
Imre ceased to rcpriyient the union-* and
has become a gathering of advanced
Socialists, who. -were their Ideas to pre
vail, would -pfovo a curse to labor, and
whoso methods would ultimately result
ln restricted treedom and dlminised. re
sources. Frogrc:,* would be arrested
and in a short lltne the working classes
would bo placed In a condition ot ab
ject dependence upon the state. Col-
leutlvetsm can never -take the place of
indlvduallsm. The mure can never bo
absorbed by the union. If tho shout
ers at the congress would work more
for the unions and less In passing wild
resolutions. It would lie better Tor thoae
they represent,”
• This organized movement against the
Socialist wire pullers Is supported by
several other unions.
