Excerpt from The Trades' Union Congress: Meetings in Dundee The nineteenth Congress met in Hull on 6th September, 1886. There were present 143 dele gates from 121 Societies representing members. This meeting adopted the principle of Free Education, and a Labour Electoral Committee was appointed with the view of securing increased labour representation in Parliament. The twentieth Congress assembled at Swansea on 5th September, 1887. The new subjects discussed included sanitary inspection, the revised edition of the statutes, the question of trade marks, and the right of public meeting in Ireland. There were present 156 delegates from 131 Societies, represent ing members. Last year's meeting was held at Bradford on Monday, 3d September. It was equally as success ful as any which had preceded it, and the principal business discussed was the vote of the trades on the Eight Hours' question, a subject which will again occupy an important place on the programme of this meeting. An International Trades' Union Congress was opened in Paris on 23d August, 1886. It continued for six days, and in the main discussed the same subjects as those deliberated upon by the Trades' Unionists of the United Kingdom.
