LABOUR WOMEN.
At a meeting of the Auckland Women's branch of the New Zealand Labour party, held in the Trades Hall, Mrs. Harrison, presiding, the following resolutions were carried unanimously:— '•'That the Auckland women's -branch of the New Zealand Labour "party emphatically protests' against the St. Helens Hospitals being tunned into training institutions for medical students studying obstetrics, thereby breaking down the principle for which the hospitals were founded by the late R. J. Seddon. We urge for the working class mothers, for whom the St. Helens hospitals were instituted, maintenance of the same privacy as has hitherto been enjoyed in our national institutions, and ask the Government to keep their hands off the St. Helens Homes"; "That this meeting of Labour women protests against the exclusion of women from participating in the benefits of the Unemployment Bill now before the House of Representatives, and-urges that steps be taken: to-jhclude all women workers."
