Mr E. J. Carey, one of the bestknown men in the Labour movement in New Zealand, who has enlisted for service at the front, has volunteered for tjie infantry branch, and he hopes to be admitted to the non-commissioiied officers' camp, says the "Dominion.'' But whether as non-com. or private, he is going to fight. Mr Carey's early departure necessitated his resigning from his position as secretary of the Hotel and Restaurant Workers' Union, and a special meeting of the union was held to receive his resignation. There were about 100 members present, which is about four times the strength of an average general meeting. The meeting unanimously decided not to accept Mr Carey's resignation, and to keep his position open for him on his return. Mr Carey was granted leave of absence, and also he was granted three months' holiday on full pay. Mr O 'Malley, present assistant secretary of the union, was appointed general secretary in Mr Carey's absence, and the executive were authorised to call for applications and to appoint an assistant secretary.
