SHOULD MR. COATES GO.
DELEGATION FOR OTTAWA. MINISTRY OF EMPLOYMENT. MR. HAMILTON WOULD ACT. (By Telegraph.—Own Correspondent.) CHRISTCHURCH, Monday. Should the Minister of Employment, Rt. Hon. J. G. Coates, decide to go to the Ottawa Conference as one of the New Zealand delegates, his portfolio of Employment, which is regarded as probably the most important in the Cabinet to-day, will probably be taken over by the Minister of Labour, Hon. A. Hamilton, stated the Prime Minister, Rt. Hon. Gr. W. Forbes, to-day. Mr. Forbes said that no word 011 the subject of his going had yet been received from Mr. Coates, who was taking every aspect of the question into consideration. The change of portfolio to Mr. Hamilton would be convenient to the Government, as the Employment and Labour Departments were now controlled by the one head.
