Civic Federation Plan Mirrors American Model for Britain
English labor delegates touring the United States under Alfred Mosely propose a Great Britain Civic Federation modeled on the National Civic Federation of America to prevent strikes. The group aims to intervene early in disputes, rather than settle them, and to coordinate with existing mediation bodies. Mrs St John Gaffney hosts the initial meeting where the Car Passengers Rights Society is formed to pressure railways for more cars during peak hours with an eight-member Organization Committee and officers including Mrs Savage as president.
