SOUTHPORT, ENGLAND, July 19 (CNA) The National Union ajt Railwaymen unanim ously adopted a resolution here this week at the close of its annual' con^^ention d|fenouncing the fascist invasion of Ethiopia, and characterised the ’‘beastly acti^n as a danger to democracy •f al.attack of- fascism on the berties of peoples, the conven tion urged all nations to defend their liberties by collective se curity and to give reciprocal guarantees of mutual assistance in case of ggressfon. Similar re solutions protesting tITe unpro voked attacks by facist powers on Austria, Spain and China were alBo, adopted.
