Thd biennial conference of the New Zealand Waterside Workers’ Federation which is meeting this year at Lyttelton, to-day carried the following resolution: “That the conference desires to convey heartiest congratulations to Mr M. J. Savage and his colleagues on the splendid victory for Labour at the recent Parliamentary elections. The conference assures Mr Savage of the co-operation of the waterside workers throughout the Dominion in putting into operation the policy of the New Zealand Labour Party, for the delegates assembled are of the opinion that it is by this means that the standard of life of the workers of New Zealand can be raised and economic and social justice given to the people of the nation.” A resolution congratulating Mr Savage was carried by a mass meeting of employees of the Addington railway workshops.
