Ted to an important discussion this afternoon.
Mr. Will Thorne, on behalf of the General Workers" Union, and Mr. Ernest Bevin, on behalf of the rt Union characterized the 'Mr. Citrine, the General Secretary' of the Congress, said that if they voted against the resolution it would go forth to the imperialists of the World that the Trade Union movement was opposed to any attempt, to prevent the transport of munitions, whereas trade unionists everywhere were desirous. to stop this traffic whenever possible. He said that the rerolution therefore required the most careful considera tion.
In view of this difference of opinion the conference without voting on the resolution went on to other business.—Reuter.
