THE LABOUR MOVEMENT.
From reports which are current in various parts of the Dominion it would seem that the Labour movement has been given a very considerable set-back as a result of the recent conference of extremists. The constitution that lias been adopted does not appeal to the gieat bulk of the workers, an<l there is a growing disposition to repudiate the actions of such men as Mr_v\. I . Mills and Mr Semple. The SocialDemocratic party is endeavouring to build up hopes on the strength ot the Grey electionbut the more moderate Labour, leaders refuse to re*
gard this election as an index ot public opinion. The man who, above all dthers, is treated with suspicion by the moderate Labourites, is Mr T. W. Mills, of Milwaukee. One prominent Labour man ventured the opinion that, "it would pay us, even now, to subscribe Mr Mills' faro back to America." The "unity scheme" devised by the fantastic little gentleman has fallen as flat as a pancake.
