MR PAYNE’S PRICE
Christchurch, July 27
At the annual meeting of the Canterbury General Eabourers’ Union, a letter was received from Mr J. Payne, M.P. for Grey Lynn as a reply to a resolution forwarded to him by the Union asking him to vote against any Government that would not agree to repeal the compulsory clauses of the Defence Act. The letter concluded as follows: —“Believe me, if it comes down to my vote at the coming no-confidence motion to save the Government, one of the things asked as my price will be the abolishing of the compulsory clauses of the Defence Act.”
