MR. HOLLAND AT GISBORNE
GISBORNE, 25th October
The City Hall was crowded last night on ■ the occasion of an address by My. IT. E. Holland, when the Labour Leader gave an outline of tho Labour policy, on the lines of addresses elsewhere.
With reference to Labour's claim that the Government intended to reduce wages by 7s 6d weekly to assist the. family allowance scheme, Mr. Holland held that although Mr. Coatcs had denied such a scheme having been considered by the Government, it was very significant that tho Minister of Labour (Hon. G. J. Anderson) remained silent on the point. It was unquestionable, he contended, that the Minister must have approved tho inclusion of the scheme in the annual report of the Secretary for Labour. Mr. Holland did not reply to recent criticism in connection with Labour's platform.. After an attentive hearing he was awarded a vote of thanks by general acclamation.
