LABOUR POLITICS.
(To the Editor.)
Sir, —“All is quiet on the Fitzlierbert Avenue front.” I went along last night to witness the disaffiliation of the Labour Party branch. I saw the street thronged with members and representatives of the L.R.C., but the L.R.C. room was in darkness. Then came a hush. There was an uncanny stillness. It was the president of the L.R.C. intimating that the meeting was off on account of information received from Wellington. I saw the delegates were deeply annoyed. A question was asked as to why the meeting had not been opened and an explanation offered in the meeting, but the reply was indefinite. What was the reason? I have a shrewd suspicion that the “old birds have come a thud.” Has peace been declared, or were the fighting units insufficient to combat the branch howitzers?—l am, etC '’ WATCHHOUSE.
