INDUSTRIAL LABOUR
♦ Progress Made With New Organisation NATIONAL UNITY CLAIMED Considerable progress, it is reported, was made yesterday at the national industrial Labour unity conference with the new constitution for one Dominionwide organisation of unions. All national bodies which have hitherto spoken and voted for various sections and alliances within the Labour movement will disappear and the new unified authority, the New Zealand Federation of Labour, will stand supreme and alone. Local administration will, however, be conducted by district bodies responsible to the major organisation. The sponsors of the conference claim that its main objective has been achieved with the creation of the federation,. which is expected to eliminate the factional strife which had riven industrial Labour for some time. The conference has been sitting since Wednesday under the chairmanship of the Acting-Minister of Labour, Hon. P. C. Webb, and will continue this morning.
