SOUTH ISLAND MOTOR UNION.
FEAR OF ABSORPTION EXPRESSED. (By Telegraph.—Press Association.) CHRISTCHURCH, this day. . Fear that the South. Island Motor Union might lose its individuality and become absorbed in North Island control, was expressed by members of the executive of the South Island Union last evening. The question arose through the union having been apparently ignored by the Minister of Public Works, who, in proposing the formation of an advisory committee, communicated with the North Island Motor Union only. This body then communicated with the South Island union.. Mr. J. S. Hawkes moved that a representative of the union be appointed to the committee, and that it be pointed out that the South Island Motor Union was a distinct body from the North Island Union. "If we are proing to take this lying down we shall be absorbed in the other union and lose our individuality," paid Mr. Johnston. "This union has 30.000 members, and we should have a voice in control." The motion was carried.
