Labour’s Loyalty.
Owing to having sent, without special authority, the following telegram of condolence on the King’s death, Mr. Arthur Rosser, President of the Dominion Executive of the Trades and Labour Council, has been forced to resign. “ To the Prime Minister, Wellington,— On behalf of the Dominion Executive of the Trades and Labour Councils accept the deepest sympathy on the loss to the Empire by the death of his Majesty King Edward. As Prince, he took an active interest in the housing of the poor of London; as King, he was essentially a peacemaker. May his successor follow in his footsteps.—Arthur Rosser, President.” The vote which brought about Mr. Rosser’s resignation, on Wednesday night, was very even, with only thirtyfour members of the Council present, so that it may not be generally endorsed by Labour in the Dominion.
