UNITED LABOUR PARTY.
- ♦ --- CRITICISM OF CONGRESS [|IY TKI.KGKAVU. —I'UKSS ASSOCIATION'.] Wellington, This Day. The Provisional Executive of tbe United Labour Party met yesterday and issued a statement including tbe following, regarding the Unity Congress:—"The most marked feature of the Congress wa3 the absence of any true spirit of unity. The revolutionary section never once consented to compromise. There was no warrant for saddling the unions with a capita fee of 4s per member per annum, a large part of which goes to provide for the payment of salaries running into over £2O per week. We declare emphatically against the power given to the new organisation to call unions out on strike. No executive should have the power to involve unions in a strike against their will."
