FEDERATION OF LABOR.
WELLINGTON WATERSIDERS AND LABOR FEDERATION. WILL THEY SECEDE? In all probability the loyalty of members of the AVellington Waterside Workers' Union to the Federation of Labor will be put to the direct test very soon (says the Times). The recent refusal of the union to obey the Federation's order and take a day's holiday as a protest against tlio imprisonment of the Waihi men is regarded by many people as an indication that the Federation'* hold on the members had weakened considerably. That this is so, however, is denied by some of the union men. They say last week's vote did not constitute a vote of "no-confidence" in the Federation, and ought not to be interpreted as such. But the question is not likely to be left in doubt very long, as notice has been given (so it is understood) to take a secret ballot on the question whether the union shall secede from the Federation. This question, if put, will be answered directly "yes" or "no."
