ART UNIONS.
OPPOSED BY METHODIST CONFERENCE. (I'ItESS ASSOCIATION TELEGRAM.) WELLINGTON, February 24. In a report on the subject of gambling the committee of the Methodist Conference expressed regret at the reappearance of Art Unions for the raising of money, and its disappointment at permits being granted by the Government for that purpose. They had protested to the Minister against the proposed Gaming Bill providing for further facilities in connexion with gambling. They further protested against Art Unions in connexion with public school bazaars, believing them to be antagonistic to the best interests of the children. The conference was addressed in committee by the Hon. L. M. Isitt, M.L.C., and it was decided to protest against the increased facilities granted for Art Unions, believing that tho modern Art Union was entirely contrary to the intention of the original Act.
