Summary
Concerning statements made by (Leader of the House and First Lord of the Treasury) Arthur Balfour insisting on cooperation from fellow statesmen in supporting the passage of an unspecified bill; Dilke states that he was "pledged to take no part in opposition to that bill" and is therefore "not complaining on [his] own account", and requesting that Burns send on an enclosed report of Balfour's words to "Mr. [William] Johnson, the President of the National Union of Shop Assistants", to convey to him the difficulty in Parliament "of carrying any opposed private member's bill."
