MOBILISATION FOR WAR SERVICE. VIEWS OF N.Z. LABOURERS’ FEDERATION. (By Telegraph—Press Association.) WANGANUI, This Day. The annual conference of the New Zealand Labourers’ Federation is being attended by 20 delegates from all parts of New Zealand, representing 14,000 worker's. The conference, after recalling that it had never endorsed conscription for overseas service, placed on record its opinion that now that conscription was the law it was only just that all sections of the cojnriiunity should share the burden equally, and protesting against “any section of the community sheltering behind its own importance to avoid service.” The conference adopted a declaration protesting that those who could do so were only being asked to lend money, while others were compelled to give their lives,- and urging that money for war finance should be raised by the same methods as manpower.
