A RIFT IN THE LUTE.
A SECESSION FROM TRADES COUNCIL. BY TELEGRAPH —PRESS ASSOCIATION. WELLINGTON, December 23. The Wellington Furniture Trades' Union has'seceded' from the Trades and Labour Council because of the attitude of the latter body in connection with the election of a deputy representative of the workers on the Arbitration Court.
A letter was sent by the Council expressing regret that some of the members of the Union had been disloyal to, the, recommendations of the annual conference. The Union decided to secede from the Council, and Dassed a resolution to the effect that the Trades and Labour Council is not a bona fide labour association, inasmuch as it is controlled by others than practical trades unionists, who insist on being recognised as the mouthpiece of trades unionism and labour generally, and use coercive means to. silence opposition. This , means a perpetual state of strife detrimental to tha best interests of labour.
