HON J. T. PAUL ON LABOUR.

(Special to "Tho Colonibt.")

Christohuroh, March 9;

From north to south of Now Zealand the Hoii J. T. Paid, president of the Tailoresses' Federation, is on a visiting tour of the various tailoressc*;' unions, He arrived in Christchurch yesterday, and will go.on tc) Diinedin on Friday, after meeting the iocal tailoresses this evening. In Auckland, he says ,the organisation leaycts something to be desired, the position of affairs being traceable, perhaps, to the unsettled state of the labour organisations generally thclre. In Wellingotn the position is much bettor, and in Duiiedin almost perfect. Christchurch Mr Paul says, is going along nicely. Discussing the organisation in Auckland, he remarked that when labour became so much further divided that clach man was a party in himself, there might be harmony. Many of the points of cleavage did not matter at all, but ho believed that labour had to go through tho experiences that Auckland was having, and unquestionably it would come together again and occupy the position and wield the influencj' that it should possess.
