RESTORATION OF WAGES.
- LABOUR LEADER'S PROMISE. REPEAL OF LEGISLATION. [BY TELEGRAPH. —PRESS ASSOCIATION.] WELLINGTON. Tuesday. A promise that, if given a majority in Parliament, a Labour Government would repeal the legislation for wages cuts, w3s given by Mr. H. E. Holland, Leader of the Labour Parity, when speaking at the party's annual conference. " The cuts," said Mr. Holland, " have been closured through the House of sentatives by the combined votes of the United and Reform Parties. No one will be optimistic enough to expect the Legislative Council to reject the bill.
" Whether the cuts will remain in operation after the end of the present year will depend solely upon the public servants and wage workers generally. They have the matter in their own hands. A Labour Government coming into office will lose no time in repealing wage-reducing legislation."
