LIFE OF SERVICE
HON. F. JONES'S TRIBUTE (Special.) WELLINGTON, May 28. A warm tribute to Mr IMunro was paid by the member for Dunedin South, the Hon. F. Jones. Mr Jones said that for nearly 40 years he had been closely associated with Mr Munro in the industrial and political Labour movement. Mr Munro was a man of sterling qualities, who put his heart and soul into any movement for the benefit of the people. His interest in the workers was shown by the positions he had held. He was a useful member of Parliament, and as a colleague one always found him helpful. Mr Munro was always interested in the welfare of the workers and one remembered how in the old days, during a period of stress, he and W partner,. Mr P. Neilson, M.P., came to the assistance of those who were suffering by supplying bread for their needs. Mr Munro was keenly interested in the progressive legislation of the Labour Government, which had given security to the people. His life had been one of service, and he would be missed by all who knew him. Mr Jones added that he joined with others in extending sympathy to the widow and family.
