LABOR AND PROHIBITION.
NOT ON THE SAME PLATFORM
(Special to “Post.”) Wellington, July 11
The Labor delegates voted against prohibition at the final meeting of the Congress. Questions of no-license and prohibition were brought up. Replying to a question, Mr H. E. Holland said that tlie Unity Committee had not considered the question of no-license, and no one had any authority to make any statement purporting to be the Unity Committee’s view.
Later in tlie day, Mr Drummond (Wellington Sheet Workers’ Union) moved-*-“Tliat this Congress affirm® National Prohibition as a plank in the fighting platform.” This was defeated by an overwhelming majority, three hundred delegates being present.
