UNITED LABOUR PARTY.
WHAT THE RAILWAY MEN MAY DO. (BT TELEGRAPH — SPECIAL TO THJ POfIT.J AUCKLAND, This Day. In discussing with a pressman, the position of the railway branch of the Public- Service in regard to the united Labour scheme, Mr. W. A. A r eitch, M.P. for Wanganui, expressed the opinion that the railway men would ultimately come into the scheme, "now that the constitution is to be alteivd ; but prior to that I was not piepared to advise the railway men to join the United Labour Party, for the leason that it •would never do for them to be involved in a strike of any kind without their consent," remarked Mr. Veitch. "Now that the constitution has been altered to provide that no union can be involved in any strike until its consent has been obtained by a ballot of its members, I have no hestitation in advising the railway men to throw in their lot with the new party, which is destined to become a very powerful factor in the near future."
