THE FEDERATION

Out of a total vote of 246, the proposal 'to secede from the federation was carried by 19 votes. The result of the ballot, however, did not give satisfaction in some quarters, it being freely stated that ballot papers did not sufficiently clearly distinguish the issue to be decided. At a meeting of workers on Thursday night it was decided to take a fresh ballot on the proposal, and this was held yesterday, when the -voting resulted as follows:— For remaining in the federation, 167; against, 104. INVERCARGILL. 14th October.
