MUNICIPAL POLITICS
LABOUR PARTY CANDIDATES. DOUBTFUL ELECTIONEERING METHODS. Press Association —By Telegraph—Copyright SYDNEY, 'August 12. (Received August 12, at 7.5 p.m.) The newspapers are calling attention to the issue by 'the Australian Labour Party of bonds towards a fund for the assistance of city Labour aldermen in order to secure their return at the next municipal elections. The bonds are valued at £l, 10s, and 5s respectively. The employees of the Council are expected to take them up according to their rate of pay. A circular accompanying the bonds emphasises that most of the concessions the employees enjoy were secured by the Labour aldermen, and if they are not returned again the concessions will be withdrawn. A total of £2OOO of the £SOOO expected has been already paid, but it is understood that a number of the employees are opposed to what they regard as a forced levy.
