EDUCATION VOTE
PROTESTS AGAINST CUT
LABOUR RESOLUTIONS
At a largely attended meeting of the Wellington Labour Representation Committee held in the Trades Hall last night the controversy, concerning :• the Education ■ Vote was, considered,- and delegates expressed warm resentment at anonymous ■ propaganda. The following resolutions were unanimously adopted:— . •
"That this meeting of the Wellington Labour Representation. Committee strongly protests. against any attempt to reduce the educational facilities of the boys and girls of New Zealand by interfering with the free place system at present in operation, or in any other* way."' . . ; .. ~-':• "The Wellington Labour Representation Committee places on record its emphatic condemnation of the action of the fusion Government in removing the portfolio of Education from the representative Chamber to the nonpopular Upper House, on the ground that so important a department should be under the control of a Minister elected by the people and amenable to the influence of .members directly representing the electors. The trans* j. jrence of the Education Ministry ,to the non-representative Chamber is an affront to democratic principles to which the Labour Movement strongly objects.'?
