The prevalence of parochialism in the Labour movement in Now Zealand is deplored by the N.Z. Transport Worker, which declares that the plain truth is that there are far too many parish-pump politics in industrial affairs in the dominion. In many of the federations little or no notice was taken of the central office or the parent body. Each local craft union acted on its own initiative, with the result that the so-called national organisation soon became a paper outfit. It was sometimes ea.id that the national organisation was no good and that what was wanted was local organisation Such statements demonstrated the weakness of craft federations and showed the terrible lack of discipline that existed. Unfortunately, says the Transport Worker, Labour has a very narrow outlook so far as its industrial policy is concerned. It should be their aim throughout the movement to establish confidence in the central organisation of labour, for by that means they could very soon obtain an individual labour organisation with unity as its watchword.
