That tins council expresses its disapprobation al (lie action of certain umonisiß in Cluistchiirch anri other centres m forming- the New Zealand Workers' i-oiit'.cal Association in opposition to the Independent Political Labour League deeming such action at once disloyal and in opposition to the best interests'of the workers of the colony." "The notice of this council having been drawn lo riia intention of the New Zealand Employers' Federation to bring under tne notice of tho Premier' mid Parliament a pnvato loiter written by Mr Trogear over 12 months ajro and recently published in the beacon, stops he taken to prevent any injustice) being done Mr Tregear; tho council affirms that Mr Trcgoar should be judged by his administration extending oyor so many ycare and not bv his private views or sentiments expressed "in a private letter; the council has not Dt all" times agreed with the decisions of the Secretary for Labour, but expresses tho belief that Mr Tregear has endeavoured lo hold the balance between labour and capital; tho council is also of opinion that an attempt is now being made to wipo oft imagined grievances which some employers feel they owe the Secretary for Labour, and that this private letter is sought lo be mado the medium through which to strike Mr Tregearj and, further, expresses theopinion that if tho Secretary for Labour were punished for writinr a private letter to a friend it would bo un-Hriiish and degrading to the colony's self-respect; and, in conclusion, urges all lovers of fair play to protest against ibis attempt to injuro a faithful and loyal public oflicial; that tho other Trades and Labour Councils be approached with a view lo concerted action."
