STOPPAGES IN INDUSTRY
MR MCLAGAN’S COMMENT (P.A.) WELLINGTON. June 13. “In the main, workers have realised that there is little justification for stoppages in industry at the present time,” said the Hon. A. McLagan, reporting for the national executive to the annual conference of the New Zealand Federation of Labour. “Unions restraining action to-day—-apart from the need to safeguard life or resist victimisation—are unions which have fought in the past, and will fight again to-morrow if circumstances demand it,” he said. “Ample machinery exists for the settlement of disputes. The national executive and the national council have repeatedly requested that negotiations be initiated before a stoppage develops, not afterwards. “The only people who can benefit by an unnecessary stoppage are the opponents of Labour. They will not hesitate to incite strife in the hope D u will be antagonised, and thus serve the end the opponents of trade unions have in view—undermining and defeating the Labour Government”
