'For your private information Mr. Hughes has been the most prominent Member of the Wharf Labourers Union for years and at the present time notwithstanding the war Unionists will not work alongside non-Unionists are never long satisfied with the ruling rates of wages . So much for Australian Wharf Labourers' Patriotism!' He is enclosing '17 newspaper cuttings' from which Wood 'will have some slight idea of the extraordinary political goings on here under Labour Ministries. Mr Hughes and I are on friendly terms outside politics.
