Labour Conference Abandoned.
- Pabxaxuj^ January 27. • Speaking at a banquet here latt night, Mr Seddon referred to the abandonment of the Labour Parliament. The idea of the Gtovernme&t, ' he said, bad been to bring employers and employees, and fanners and, in* dustrial unions together to discuss and explain matters and act rather as a Conciliation Board. - He deegly regretted that the employers' associations had refused to meet the labour unions and associations, and &€ believed that by that refusal they had weakened their case. The moral effect ' of that refusal would be to give the workers much higher opinions, and to strengthen their case throughout length, and breadth of the country. The' Premier announced that the Imperial Colonial OonferenA at London had been postponed for a year.
