LABOUR STILL DIVIDED.
In an interview the other day, Mr W. A. Veitch, the Labour member for Wanganui, stated, in effect, that the recent Unity Oongresg" was dominated by the Federation of Labour. "I went to the conference," said Mr Veitch, "hoping for a reasonable arrangement which would unit© the rational workers of this country, who comprise 95 per cent, of the whole, into one organisation, not for the limited purpose of defending trade unionists against employers, but to dofend the people ,frjom the great monopolies. I conclude, fro-n * eareftil analysis of the decisions of the. conference, that it will' be impossible for the now organisation to gain sufficient strength to accomplish anything in this all-important direction." In Mr Veitch's opinion the new organisation is the Federation of Labour with a new titdle, aoid the addition of Professor Mills, "to-wiiom,*' ; says.'the member for Wanganui, "tihey are heartily welcome." * So ztmch for the Unity Congress.
