WHERE STANDS "THE WORKER?"

Sir,—The motto of "The Worker," printed every week on its front page, is: "Tho world's wealth for the world's workers." On the same frop* page on March 3 you described as "*** bunch of freaks" an Auckland Labor Party, because it had congratulated Massey and had called on Payne and Robinson to resign on account of the vote of confidence of those two men in Ward. Have you got no pet name for Robertson? "The Worker" advised us to get behind him before his election, and now he has confidence in Ward, who, just as much as Massey, is opposed to the idea of the world's wealth belonging to tho world's workers. I don't think any of these men are "freaks," but Just Labor men, hand-in-hand mutual-interest men; possibly they belong to the great uniters, and so are quite in order in uniting, some with Ward and some with Massey, just as the spirit move* them. But I would like to know—in case of a want of confidence motion being raised against "The Worker" —what is its position in relation to the old political parties? I am for the independence of L*bor .— Yours, eto.;> HamiitnaL 0. PARKBR.
