FEDERATION OF LABOUR.
The second branch of the Labour Party in New Zealand, which is know n as the "Federation of Labour," and which might more appropriately be termed the "Syndicalist Larty,' is being rather severely criticised jusit now. A West Coast paper, the "Inaiii-1 gahua Times," deals with the leaders as follows: "But is it- not time the working man shook oft this tyranny that Mr Sample and Mr Hickey would fasten on to him Who are Mr iSemple and Mr Hickey . J ihe men made them? and the men can. unmake. 'j|or five years, more or less, they have lived on the workers. But, jshen. thete : theji;; voices they j are scabs. They subscribe to a pap<?ti —in many placesthey are practically I forced to subscribe to. a paper—that, holds VP a body of. 1000. men to the ''scorn aiid: ridicule "ctf "their owni class.: tt:S no .opinion to be tolerated but that endorsed by Mr Hickey . J In ther>e| days it h liot safe to speak, to utter, one's-opinion when Mr Hickey, the tyrant on the Worker, can hound | with the aid of sycophants, those who ! censure him. Truly the . capitalist i whipped the worker with whips, but i these scourge them with scorpions."
