ANOTHER CONFERENCE ARRANGED A joint, conferonco between the Social Denioeratio Party and tho United Labour Party, together with* representatives from various unions, whether affiliated to the "Trades and liabour Council or not, is to be held next Monday, under tho chairmanship of Mr. John Rigg. As tho United Labour Party has nominated only three candidates for Wellington, seats, it will probably bo lesolved that in theso constituencies tho Social Democratic Party will not operate. Regan-ding Wellington Central, it may be taJcen for granted that the unitod support of Labour will lie given to Mr. Fletrhor, whether Mr. Holland stands or not; tho probability is he will not. 4i .Mr. Fletcher lost tho scat by only four votes on the first ballot at tho lafifc election, it is considered that he will havo an understanding with Labour, and ho will i>et votes accordingly. Regarding AVellincfton North, Mr. P. Fraser has boon nominated for this position by the Social Democrats, but if a strong Liberal were to put up for the position he would capture the, majority of the Labour votes.
