LABOUR PARTY'S ATTITUDE.

"EVERT POSSIBLE SUPPORT." KESOLUTIOST OF CONFERENCE. (By Telegraph.—Press .association.) DUNEDIN, Monday. The New Zealand Labour party Conference to-day passed the following resolution:— "That this conference, representative of the whole Labour movement of the Dominion, deeply regrets that the policy persisted in by the Government should have rendered inevitable the climax which has been reached in the railway service. The conference strongly condemns the Prime Minister and his Cabinet for'their refusal to allow Parliament to have an opportunity to deal with the trouble. We pledge the New Zealand Labour party to give every possible support to the railway workers -in their endeavour to secure wages sufficient to enable them to maintain their wives and children in decency and comfort, and to this end national officers are recommended to place the facilities of the national office at the service of the A.S.R.S. executive. Furthermore, Labour members of Parliament are recommended to give tile fullest possible platform and moral support to the A.S.R.S., while the trouble lasts, and in the meantime to exercise a full measure of their influence to secure a speedy settlement."
