LABOUR STATEMENT

REGARDING ALLEGED INTIMIDATION REQUEST FOR SPECIFIC INFORMATION. DISAPPROVAL OF REPORTED ACTION. (By Telegraph—Press Association.) WELLINGTON. This Day. Tn reply to, statements by the Mayor of Wellington (Mr T. C. A. Hislop) and Mr H. L. Nathan, in respect to alleged intimidation by union secretaries, the Labour Representation Committee made the following statement: “It is hardly credible, in view of the Labour Representation Committee’s attitude to freedom of expression and speech, that ' supporters of the Labour Party would adopt the tactics alleged in the statements referred to. ft is regretted that the Mayor and other Citizens’ candidates were not more specific in their statements. The Labour Representation Committee could then have investigated the mattei’ and replied. In view of the circumstances, the Labour Representation Committee cannot answer the statements, as they are not aware of the circumstances. If the statements made are correct, and the facts are as stated, then the Wellington Labour Representation Committee definitely dissociates itself from the actions of the persons concerned for the reasons as stated above. We have stood and do stand for the freedom of the individual and would not tolerate the alleged actions for one moment.”
