The Lord Mayor, Mr Mos'yn, who is also an assistant secretary of the Electrical Trades Union, has been suspended by that organisation from the latter office for welcoming the Duke and Duchess of York “with all pomp and splendour of mediaeval ages, and in defiance of a mandate from the Trade, and Labour Council.” SYDNEY, April 7. The President of the Electrical Trades Union states that Mr Mostyn has not been suspended from the assistant secretaryship. The motion in favour of suspension was moved, but he ruled that as it involved serious and drastic action against an official, notice would have to be given before the matter was decided.
