LABOUR LEADER IN EDEN

PREDICTS WAGE REDUCTIONS

AND MORE TAXATION.

(By Telegraph.—Press Association.) „ AUCKLAND, 9th April.

Mr. H. E. Holland, Leader of the Labour Party, spoke at Mount Albert tonight in support of the candidature of Mr. H. G. R. Mason at the Eden byelection. Mr. Holland made a general attack ' upon the ■ Government, and accused Mr. Coates of departing from his undertaking that there would be no dismissals from the Railway Workshops' staffs under the reorganisation, scheme. He predicted that the Government would go in for wage reductions' and Increases in taxattion. The Labour Party would oppose these to its utmost. They knew they were coming, and those who had voted for the Government would get what they had voted for. ■He advised the women not to vote for Miss Melville just because she was a woman. If she got into Parliament—and Mr. Holland predicted she would not—the Reform Party would inimediately open its ranks to her. She would sit on the Reform bench and vote against the workers. He would not be surprised if the Government brought in a Bill which would be a replica of the Commonwealth Crimes Bill, which made i'- almost a crime to belong to a union. A vote of thanks and confidence was carried. ' ,
