The position of the British govern

The Bristol conference isthe most'
important of this kind ever held in I
England, representing more than two
million members of trades unions .
The compulsory military service bill.ticular with respect to three points-
having passed the House of Commons
is expected to encounter little opposi- j
tion m the House of Lord, but the out-
come of the long campaign on this
issue' depends largely on the attitude
of organized labor.
Although great opposition to com
pulsion developed at the London labor
conference this feeling has died down
to considerable extent since that
time .
