150 LABOUR IN MADRAS to send a message through those friends to the Labour Unions in England. During the week I want you to think very carefully over this particular proposition. If you are going to send a message to Labour Unions in Great Britain, what is the message that you are going to send to them? It is very important. We have a few days before us. Some of our friends are going on the 10th and 17th May, and I would like our Labour Union to send a definite message to English Labour Unions through them. I would like you to consider this and speak about it to those who are members of your Manage ing Committee which meets every Tuesday, so that we will draw up certain definite resolutions and a programme which we can hand over to the representatives of India who go to Great Britain. Mr. John Scurr, a great Labour leader from England is coming out to Madras in the course of a few days. He will be staying with us at Adyar and I hope to bring him out here next Saturday for the meeting. He will be of great use and value to us and he will surely fight on behalf of the Labour Union of Madras and labourers of India when he returns to England. One of his principal objects in visiting Madras is to come to our Labour Union and see what kind of work we have been doing. You must see that next Saturday's meeting is a very representative one. We will be able to prepare our programme for our Indian representatives and give a copy of that programme to our friend Mr. John Scurr. He will help our Indian friends when they arriye in England. You may also consider if there is any one particular individual who you would like to go to England on your behalf and fight out your battles.
