ARBITRATION COURT.

RESIGNATION OF MR. McCULLOL’GH. RE-NOMINATION DESIRED. By Talegraph—Press Assodfttloa. Wellington, Last Night, Some misapprehension appears to have been created over the wording of a resolution passed by the recent conference of trade union representatives regar 1 g the position of the workers’ representative on the Arbitration Court, rendered vacant by the resignation of Mr. McCullough. The resolution stated: “That this conference requests the deputy representative of Labor on the Court not to occupy the position vacated by Mr. and recommends organised Labor not to nominate any other person as the representative of the workers on the Arbitration Court.”

On being asked to make a statement on the subject Mr. J. Roberts (secretary of the Alliance of Labor) said the resolution .asked the workers not to nominate “any other person” for the position. It did not prevent them from renominating Mr. McCullough, who had resigned. “As a matter of fact,” said Mr. Roberts, “the conference was unanimously in favor of Mr. McCullough being renominated; there is no doubt about that

whatever. The Alliance of Labor is also in favor of Mr. McCullough’s renomination and all telegrams received since the passing of the resolution are in favor of his re-nomination.”
