LABOUR CONFERENCE.
* A DISPUTED NOAIINATION. Per Press Association. WELLINGTON, Feb. 13. Air A. Cook, the president of the old Alliance of Labour and secretary of the New Zealand Workers’ Union, has made the following statement in regard to a report tlia.t Air F. G. Young, secretary of the Hotel Workers’ Federation, has been selected by the Alliance of Labour as the nominee for the workers’ representative at the International Labour Conference:
“Air Young has not been selected by the Alliance of Labour, although he may have been selected by a coterie of that organisation. The workers of New Zealand must realise that a split occurred in the Alliance of Labour at the Easter conference, 1936, and probably Air Young, who was one of the delegates who attempted to alter the constitution, lias now been selected by those who were responsible for this alteration. The principal Labour organisations in the Alliance of Labour have not had any say in the selection of Mr Young and* therefore, cannot support him.”
