Members of tho conference were welcomed to'Christchurch.hy Mr. C. Renn, president of. the Canterbury Trades and Labour Council. The .Puponga Miners'. Union, by 64 votes to 5,' decided to affiliate with ,the Miners' Federation.

We consider that tlio questions in Clause 4 aro impertinent, and submit' that the Bill is a form of conscription, and an insidious effort to strike at the liborty of tho people, and, further, we declare that-it interferes with the sanctitv of tlio home, and' permits of discrimination.
