For the first time for many years New Zealand is represented at the Congress of the Australasian Council of Trades Unions, which opened yesterday. This congress is distinct from the union conference called by the Federal Government held at the weekend. The New Zealand delegate, Mr F. Cornwell, secretary of the New Zealand Federation of Labour, who is present by special invitation, said he had been instructed to say that this interchange of represenfatives would be permanent, as discussions were most helpful. He had also been asked to bring before Australian industrial leaders the place of Labour at the peace table. New Zealand wanted Labour's views drawn up before the end of the war and wanted Australia’s co-opera-tion to this respect. Mr Cornwell quoted examples of New Zealand’s war time industrial conditions, saying that what had been achieved in war time, Labour intended to hold as far as possible after the war. including a guaranteed weekly wage.
The conference is continuing today, when Nev/ Zealand's representations will be considered.
