COUNTRY QUOTA BILL
SUPPORT FOR DAIRY WOiRKEiRS
The. following statement has been issued by the Bay of Plenty SubBranch of the Dairy Workers Union: "We affirm our support of the principle of one vote, one value, our members who live in a rural electorate do not desire, that their vote should have any more value than that of our fellow workers; in the cities. We urge the working farmers not to be. misled bv the noisy minority in their demands that they must be represented in Parliament by farmers as this does not work out in practice. Parliamentary candidates are supported according to their party affiliations and not on their occupations. We would further point out that during the dairy workers' strike last January the farmers who are now loudest in their demands that milk and cream lie poured down the.. drain, were also loudest in their demands then that production must go on. Should there be any intenuption in the supply of milk or cream, dairy workers will demand full compensation for time lost."
