Labor Questions.

London, September 2. Mr Jenkins, president oi the Cardiff f Congress, promised the fairest con sideration by the workmen of the pro posed social reforms to be introduced by Government. He accused the inde pendent labor party of being really ' against labor interests and trade unions, and thought they were pro bably subsidised by the opponents of labor. He advised the unions to rely on voluntary efforts to secure the eight hour limit. Stong antagonism between the old and new Unionists was apparent at the Cardiff Oongrese. The former challenged the spirit of collectivism displayed in the Parliamentary Com mittee's report, and declared that the tinkering by the Committee of the House of Commons will never solva the •unemployed difficulty.

Irish Parties.

Londof, September 2 Mr Kilbride, who was elected for both Galway North and Kerry South, has decided to sit for the former. A bitter straggle is going on for the vacant seat. Mr Murphy, a Healeyite, and Mr Farrell, a McCarthyite, have beea nominated. Mr McCarthy has issued a manifesto denouncing Mr Healey for conspiring for three years against the unity of the party, September 3. Mr Healey denies Mr McCarthy's charges. _____ - ____ giß^^
