OTTAWA CONFERENCE
MR COATES' POSITION STILL IN DOUBT. (By Telegraph. Press Association.) CHRISTCHURCH, Monday. Should the Minister of Employment, Rt. Hon. J. G. Coates, decide to go to the Ottawa Conference as one of the New Zealand delegates his portfolio of Employment, which is regarded as probably the most important in the Cabinet to-day, will probably be taken over by the Minister of Labbur, Hon. A. Hamilton, stated the Prime Minister, Rt. Hon. G. W. Forbes, to-day.
Mr Forbes* said that no word 'on the subject of his going had yet been received from Mr Coates, who was taking every aspect of the question into consideration. The change of portfolio to Mr Hamilton would be convenient to the Government, as the Employment and Labour Departments were now controlled by the one head.
