They would not dare vote against the Government, but, neither would they be officially listed as favor-- ing legislation which, Mr. Nixon claimed, had been slipped through the | House in the dying hours of last ses-- | sion, and for the purpose, he} charged, to allow the Workmen's Com--| pensation Board to use money for an | employees' superannuation fund which' had been accumulated for injured| -- workmen or their widows. | They were not disposed to go so far' yvesterday as to vote with Mr. Nixon. but they certainly would refuse. it was said, to associate themselves with the determination of the Government to _ withhold information which the Progressive Leader declared it "was the inherent right of the Legislature" to have. It was no secret that the action ; * of the Government on both questions would be an issue throughout the Province and the members who ab-- sented themselves from the House during the vote had no desire to be h linked up with Government votes that easily might have been decided on non--partisan ' divisions.
