Mr \V. Goss moved that the Trades and Labour Council be again asked 'o semi a representative to the comm ii' • Mr W. L. Leadley said he opposed that motion. The committee had a--k cd the Labour people to semi a inan last year. A represvntatix e had attended, but had never opened his mouth, and, aft«;r weeks, hr h: d bun withdrawn altogether. It would be humiliating again to ask Labour to send a delegate. Archdeacon Taylor said they could humiliate themselves if it would du any good! Mr Goss said the L Lour Council had a right to withdraw their representative if they wished. 11 was a negative action on their part, but they had never made any charges against the committee. If they would assist this vear he would be gird to accept their aid. A member of the commit ler said hr thought'Labour would do more for the unemployed this year. Mr Leadley: L"-, there s an (dec! ion in December. Mr («oss’s motion was carried to invito a Labour delegate. .
