THE FURNITURE TRADE AND MR. WEBB.
To the Editor. Sir, —In your issue of to-day appears a statement that a congress of Federated Furniture Trade Employers sitting at Timaru passed a resolution condemning the Government for their action in imprisoning Mr. P. C. Webb, M.P. for Grey. No such meeting has been held, either in Timaru or elsewhere, and consequently no such resolution was passed. The paragraph may refer (I do not know that it dries) to a meeting of fumly ture trade employees, but certainly not' to employers, who, taken as a whole, are too loyal a body of men to pass any resolution which might in the slightest degree embarrass the Government in their effort to support the Empire in this time of trial, and have no sympathy with aible bodied men who shirk their liability for active service.—l am, etc., C E. BAKEE, President New Plymouth branch of the Federation of N.Z. -Furnishing Trade Employers. [The congress was of employees, not employers.]
