RESIGNATION OF MR McCULLOUGH.

RENOMINATION DESIRED.

CUY TELECBAPH —PRESS ASSOCIATION.) . WELLINGTON. Sept. ll t Some misapprehension appears to hay been created over the wording of a resolution passed, by the recent conference of trade union reoresentatives regarding the position of the .workers' representative on the Arbitration Court, rendered vacant by the resignation of Mr McCullough. The resolution stated. ! That this conference requests the ' deputy representative of Labour on the ' Court not to occupy the position vacated b y Mr. McCullough and recommends organised Labour not to nominate any I other person as the representative of I the workers on the Arbitration Court." j On being asked to make a statement on the subject, Mr. J. Roberts (secretary of the Alliance of Labour) said the resolution asked the workers not to nominate "any other person" for the position. It did not prevent them from renominating Mr. McCullough, who had resigned. "As a matter of fact," said Mr. Roberts, "the conference was unanimously in favour of Mr, McCullbugh being renominated ;there is no doubt being renorainated: there is no doubt Labour is also in favour of Mr. McCullough 1 b renominataon and ail telegrams .received since the passing of the resolution are in favour- of his renomination.''
