PASSIVE REGISTERS' UNION.

Fassivo rosistance against military service is to bo tho chief and only plank in the'policy of a body to bo called tho 'Passive ltesisters' Union, proposed to bo established in Now Zealand. It may be remembered by tlioso interested that several references to compulsory : military training were made at the Trade Union Conference held in January. These wero referred to tho Unity Congress Committoo (consisting of Socialists aiid members of the Federation of Labour), with authority to approach tho trade unions with some suggestion for meeting "what was felt to bo a grave situation." In its ciicular issued to unions "the committee advises that each trado union should carry a vigorous resolution strongly protesting against any form of punishment meted out It) minors \fitli conscientious objections to registration, drilling, or oath-talring under tho'Defence Act; for in tho opinion of your committee all tho torms of punitive penalties so far devised in this connection are equally abhorrent ami intolerable in a constitutional democracy—whether such punishment bo imprisonment,- military detentionj or garnishee. Your committee is of the opinion that if a resolution such as suggested was canied by every union, and,forwarded to the Prime Minister and to' tho press it would considerably aid tho agitation against tho existent outrageous provisions or a conscription imposed, it is to be feared, in behalf of vested interests and the present system of . exploitation." Finally, tho circular concludes with '> tho proposal lo form a I'afsivo Resisters' Union for "beating the garnishee," which will entail a weekly levy of Gd. on members," in order to create a fund for striko pay'if and when a member leaves his work directly an attempt is mado to put in forco the attaohment order on liis wages." .
