WORKERS' CO-OPERATION

ASSURANCE TO GOVERNMENT

(By Telegraph—Press Association.)

CHRISTCHURCH, This Day.

The biennial conference of the New Zealand Waterside Workers' Federation, which is meeting this year at Lyttelton, yesterday carried the following motion:—"That the federation desires to convey the heartiest congratulations to Mr. M. J. Savage and his colleagues on the splendid victory for Labour at the recent Parliamentary elections. The conference assures Mr. Savage of the co-operation of the waterside workers throughout the Dominion in putting into operation the policy of the New Zealand Labour Party, for the delegates assembled are of opinion that it is by this means that the standard of life of the workers of New Zealand can be raised and economic and social justice given to the people of the nation."

A motion congratulating Mr. Savage was carried by a mass meeting of the employees of the Aldington Railway Workshops. The motion added: "We trust the new Government will be mindful of the pernicious. and inhuman systems that have been introduced into the railway workshops as a result of the late Government's policy and fostered by the present administration of the railway service."
