LABOUR DELEGATE.
FOR GENEVA CONFERENCE,
FINALITY NOT REACHED. (By Telegraph.—Press Association.) WELLINGTON, this day. Mr. A. Cook, president of the old Alliance of Labour and secretary of the New Zealand Workers' Union, made the following statement to-day with regard to the report that Mr. F. G. Young, secretary of the Hotel Workers' Federation, had been selected by the Alliance of Labour as the nominee for the workers at the International Labour Conference:— "Mr. Young has not been selected by tho Alliance of Labour, although he may be selected by a coterie of that organisation," he said. "The workers of New Zealand must realise that a split occurred in the Alliance of Labour at the Easter Conference in 1931J, and probably Mr. Young, who was one 1 of the delegate's who attempted to alter the constitution, has now been selected by those who were responsible for this alteration. The principal Labour organisations in the Alliance of Labour have not had any say in the selection of Mr. Young, and therefore cannot support him." ■ «
