MAORI WORKERS AT TEMUKA
“VERY SATISFIED WITH REPLY”
TELEGRAM RECEIVED FROM PRIME MINISTER
[XHB PRESS Special Service.] TEMUKA, September 15. “The Arowhenua Maori Labour Committee, is very satisfied with the reply received to-day from the Prime Minister to our telegram complaining to him of the instructions issued fay the placement officers that we must work outside the pa,’’ said Mr G. Rangi, the secretary , of the committee, when interviewed by a reporter from “The Press” yesterday. The reply, which was in telegram form,, read as follows:—“ Local certifying officer, instructed that while suitable work is available at the pa Arowhenua natives will not be required to accept employment elsewhere. —= Signed, M. J. Savage.” It,is generally thought in the pa that if an answer had been' received to a request recently sent to Wellington by Mr T. H. Paiki as chairman of the Arowhenua runanga that a 'ruling be given on the matter then there would have been no friction. Work is now under way, with/ happy feelings, and the whole matter is considered closed.
