BULLER BY-ELECTION
THE LABOUR CANDIDATE ATTITUDE OF MINE WORKERS fBT TELECEATH —FZZSS ASSOCIATION] CHBISTCHUBCH. Fir id a j "I will fight on." declared Mr. P. C. Webb, official Laboir candidate for Bulier in the by-election in a telephone conversation from West port this morning.
Mr. Webb was quite unperturbed by an ultimatum issued to the New Zealand Labour Party by the national council of United Mine Workers, that unless he is replaced by a candidate acceptable to the unionists the Miners' Council will nominate a candidate in opposition.
"They haven't a leg to stand on." Mr. Webb said. He admitted that meetings of miner 3at Milleriori and Stockton had passed motions protesting against his candidature, but he was emphatic in declaring that such meetings were not by any means representative of the minern as a whole.
"They are just the same little cliques that plagued the party during the lifetime or its late leader," Mr. Webb added.
