LABOR PROSPECTS.
BRIGHT IX XEW ZEALAND. By Cable —l'ress Association—! Sydney, February 27. Speaking at a meeting of the Labor Council, Mr. O'llourn, of Xew Zealand, secretary of the Invercargill Timber Workers' Association, said tin; prospects of Labor in Xew Zealand politics Were never brighter than now. A real Tory Government was in power in New Zealand at present, and it was hard for the unions to make headway, but I thu treatment meted out by the Massey | Government would do more to organise ! and consolidate the Labor forces than it was possible for labor organisers to do. At the same time, as the result of tiie Government's oppressive administration he was convinced they we're going to sink Mr. Massey and his Government at next election a thousand fathoms deep in the ocean of oblivion. Replying to an interjection about free labor, Mr. O'Bourn said industrial matters had quietened ill Xew Zealand of late, but if they treated free laborers over there as New South Wales had on several occasions there, would have been fewer free laborers in the Dominion and much less industrial strife.
