Mr Tregear

——^ — ... (Per Press A:;:.ociation)

Dunedin, July 5 The executive of the Ota-go Trade.; and Labour Council, in a, letter to the press, contend that Mr Tregear must be judged on his administration of the labour laws, and not on his political or social opinions. The issue is not a civil servant's Socialistic or private views, but whether he is entitled to hold any views at all. Would the Employers" Federation, they ask, demand the removal of Sir Robert Stout from the judicial bencn because ho holds strong Prohibition views and has adjudicated on licensing matters? Vet that in effect is what the federation are asking.
