I want to emphasise that I undertake to resign if my.late Committee find that I do not carry out these my pledges in full. Also that I have placed a written declaration to this effect in the hands of my Chief of Committees. Justice for all is my motto, and I invito all to rely upon me seeing to the just hearing of their complaint if they have ono when I am the true WORKERS' REPRESENTATIVE FOR GREY LYNN. . .
