Mr McNulty’s bid fails
r Mr F. E. McNulty has lost a bid to regain his seat on the executive of the Canterbury Trades Council. Nine persons, including Mr McNulty, contested the seven seats on the council. Six of the existing members were re-elected. The seventh, the South Island area secretary of the Labourers’ Union, Mr W. B. Brown, was replaced by
the secretary of the Canterbury branch of the Carpenters’ Union, Mr J. Clough. The council’s secretary (Mr L. G. Morel), the president (Mr W. R. Cameron) and the vice-president (Mr H. McCory) were re-elected unopposed. Mr McNulty, a former secretary of the Meat Workers’ Union and immediate past secretary of the Trades Council, later last
evening said he had “nothing to say.”
The other six members of the executive are: Messrs P. R. Liggett, P. E. Piesse, R. H. Skerten, M. E. Foster, R. Fergus and Mrs H. Jones.
Mr Cameron said he could not recall the number of votes each candidate polled. However, Mrs Jones received the highest number of votes, followed by Mr Liggett.
