Committee—is one of the chief questions to be di.icu-.sed at the annuai meeting of the AmMigamated Society of Railway Servants, of wtuch .Mr BeJI is secretary, to be he)d at Cardiu' on October 1st and the lour foHowing daya. The society is afHiiatGd to the Labour Repre- entation Committps, but :o iar Mr Belt has hitherto refused losign thcco.mmitt.ee'scon- st)tnt:cn or be hound by the poUcy of ita Pariiamentary group owing to ita extreme l:;ociaJistic tendc.ncie; As showing divided is the opinion on the sllject we quote the fo'iowing rMohitfon.s which appear on the ofiiciai agenda of the society's meeting issued. (1) Leeds No. 2 and six oth'r branchf'3 appeal to you to cat! upon the general .secre- tary to join the Labour Party in the House of .Commons aud sign the constitution of that body. (2) Nottingham No. 1 Branch asks you to caH upon aU om members of Pariiament to fau in ]iue with the Trade Un'on Labour groop. (5)Stoke-on-Trent Branch appeais fora ballot of all members of the society in reier. ence to <he question of your general seereta.ry signing the Labour Party's constitQtion. (4) Exeter Branch appeals to you to with- draw from the Labour Party, and also de. man(!s that a. baHot of the members be taken to settle the question. If the nrst resolution be passed MrBeiIwill be catted upon tosign the Representation Com- mittcc's constitution and join the Keir Hard'e f!roup of L.'lbolU' members By the ::¡,doption 01 the second resolation Mr De!twr'utdbejust:flc-d in his present attttude, and his position woutd rematn unaltered. On the other hand. Mr Wardte c.nd Mr Hudson, the other railway M.P.'s. vouid berequ'red to sever tbeir connection with theKeirIIardjC section, of which they are members. As regards the third and foutth resolution', Mr BeU is understood to otTer no objection to a b'lJ!ot of the mombprs. and wouid, in fact, welca'ne it. as he botioves that the majority arc against such a limitation ot his freedom of action as wo:))d result from hia. signing the ftepTesentft.tion Committee's constitution. Theatt;tuda of the Executive Committ.ce is shown by its proposal to alter one of the ru!es so tlyat it shaH read TIiat all Candida) cs sha.H sign and accept the conditions of )ho Labour Party, a.nd !ie subject to their Whip.
