The Federation Abroad.

"Eine Socialistisho Arbeiter Partei in Neu Zealand." So writes the Berlin "Vorwarts," tho central organ of the International Social Democracy of Germany. It continues: "Apart from the legally recognised aristocratic industrial movement of the old Trades Union, birth was given to a distinct Socialistic organisation, with a round of about 10,000 members, called the New Zealand Federation of Labor, on the ground of the class war and industrial unionism (industrial federation system) in contradistinction to the sectional craft and locally split-up trades unions. "Their object is the abolition of the wage system, tho securing of the world's worth for the world's workers. "The official organ of the Federation is The Maorh-and "Woukek, inaugurated at one time as a monthly organ of the Wool Shearers' Union, but now the weekly organ of the above, with Comrade R. S Ross (heretofore editor of the Melbourne "Socialist") as editor, who also is a supporter for political action on the ground of Socialism, and an opponent of the Arbitration Court system.'
