INDEPENDENT LABOUR PARTY.
I The movement to establish in New Zfialand an Independent Labour Party is slowly but surely gaining the sympathy of the workers, and the address to be delivered in Mastorton this evening by Mr D. McLaren, M.P., j is obviously intended to gain adherentsjto the movement in this district. Labour,"which once sought emancipation from the Conservative Party is now seeking to be freed from what | it terms a "Liberal-Conservative Government." The aims of the new Party are set out in a pamphlet entitled, "New Zealand's Industries and Private Profits," which has been written by Mr J. T. Mcßride, of Christrhurch, and dedicated to "the interests of the workers." This pamphlet declares against the present system of conciliation and arbitration, and makes the somewhat startling announcement that under the private profit system ths worker cannot possibly receive more than a bare and precarious livelihood. It further asserts that most of the workers are seldom removed more than a fortnight from absolute want and destituton. It will be interesting to know upon what grounds these assertions are based. Mr McLaren i may possibly be able to explain. I
