RESIGNATION ASKED
UNION OFFICIAL AT DUNEDIN. OPPOSING LABOUR CANDIDATE. By Telegraph—Press Association. Dunedin, Nov. 7. Because he is standing as a Communist candidate for Dunedin South in opposition to the official Labour candidate, Mr. F. Jones, Mr. Samuel Ikin’s resignation as secretary of the Carpenters’ Union has been demanded. He declined the alternative to retire from the contest and is resigning his secretaryship. He stated that on principle this was the only course as the union was composed of all shades of political opinion and was not political in nature. Although the union has 496 members only 37 answered the special meeting called and a motion demanding Mr. Ikin’s retirement or resignation was carried by a majority of six votes.
