Unemployed: A letter was received from the. secretary of the New Zealand socialist party, thanking the Council for its co-opera-
tion with the former in its attitude during the late unemployed demonstration. The writer expressed a hope that the samo spirit of co-operation would continue, and that the time had arrived for side issues
to be buried, and for the socialists and the Trades and Labour Council to stand shoulder to shoulder in " the fight against oppression, and for the emancipation of labour."
