Correspondence: [Our hostility clause.] (1909)

Letter to the Editors from the October 1909 issue of the Socialist Standard

Wm. Mutter (Manchester) writes :

“Can [a] member of the S.P.G.B. (1) stand for his trade union as a delegate for the L.R.C. ?

(2) Take the chair for a Free-thought lecturer ?”

Reply:

(1) No. For in doing so he would be joining another political party—an anti-Socialist party, and therefore breaking our Principles and Rules.

(2) Yes—IF the meeting has no political character.—Ed. “S.S.”
