DUNEDIN,-This Day.
Because he is standing as a Com-. munist candidate for.Dunedin South in opposition to the official Labour' candidate, Mr. F. Jones, Mr. Samuel; Ikins's resignation as secretary of the Carpenters' Union has been demanded. He declined the alternative' to retire from the contest, and is resigning. He stated . that on principle this was the only course, as the union was composed' of all shades of poli^ tical opinion, and was not political in nature. Although the union has 496 members, only 37 attended the.special meeting, and the motion demanding retirement or resignation was carried by a-majority of six votes.
