LABOUR POLITICS.
INDEPENDENT PARTY. MR SNOWDEN RESIGNS. Press Association-Electric Telegraph-Copyright. (Received Friday, 11.30 a.m.) LONDON, Thursday. Air P. Snowden, in explaining his resignation from the Independent Labour Party, says that correspondence shows that branches throughout the country arc experiencing difficulty in keeping the organisation going, because the local Labour parties are much more powerful and are now capable of more effectively accomplishing without dup-' lication the work for -which the Independent Labour Party was created. ALr Max-ton, ALP., chairman of the independent Labour Party, expresses the opinion that the recent surtax dispute hastened Air Snowden’s resignation, and says: “We cannot regard him nowadays as a Socialist agitator, which at present is mostly needed. His resignation removes some restraint from the Independents.” Air Wheatley said that it was evident Air Snowden’s mind was no longer running on Socialist lines.
