Organising Fund.

[To the Editor of The White HibbonC Madam,—' The question of an organiser will he discuss*h! at the forthcoming Convention, and ways and means will have to ho considered. I make tho following suggestion : “In addition to the 7d now levied on members for New Zealand and

world’s capitation, that Is per member bo paid out of the 2s 7d subscription now paid.” This would save a special levy in each union. Many of the smaller unions have very few expenses, and tho larger unions carrying on work requiring financial support have to make special efforts to raise the necessary funds, and the above suggestion, if carried out, would have the following advantages : The organiser's salary is not left to chance, or to the generosity of those unions who chose to make a contribution. While all unions pay alike, individual members are not called on to pay more than at present. An organiser always in the field will increase the membership, and the activity of tho branches. Yours in the work, Mary McCarthy.
