“WOULD RESTORE HOPE.”
Organisation of Unemployed by Labour Party.
The annual conference of the New Zealand Labour Party, held in Christchurch at Easter, decided against, allowing affiliations from. relief workers' organisations, but it is understood that the Alliance of LabQur is considering the question of organising the* unemployed and will discuss the position with the party in the near future. A letter has been received by the North Canterbury Labour Representation Committee from an unemployed man in a forestry camp stating that he was convinced that organisations controlled by the Labour Party would have far-reaching results, and would restore to a very large degree that measure of hope so badly needed amongst the unemployed to-day. “ One big union of unemployed in New Zealand, sponsored by the Labour Party,” added the writer, “ would, in my opinion, be an effective barrier against further attacks oii our standard of living, and be of invaluable assistance to all who would combat that extreme section that is slowly and surely gaining ground in our midst.”
