PROTEST MEETING

(To the Editor.)

Sir, —We have perused the letter appearing in the issue of the ':Evening Post" of October 14, 1940, under the norn de plume "A Financial Member of the Wellington Plumbers' Union." Without commenting on the context of the letter, we take exception to the publication of fee following:—"Regarding my own union no notices were sent out, nor was any meeting ever held giving any authority to represent the Wellington Plumbers' Union at this protest meeting."

In fairness to our union, which has always been noted for its clean administration, we request the same privilege as extended to your correspondent and desire that you will give the following statement full publicity:—A general meeting (of which members received notification) of the Wellington branch of the Plumbers' and Gasfitters' Union was held on October 8, 1940, in the Trades Hall, Wellington, when a resolution was carried approving of the holding of a j mass meeting of building trades work-j ers to consider the regulations. Further, I the mass meeting was advertised in j the Press and notices convening the' meeting were distributed. Evidently j your correspondent is out of complete; contact with his union and its affairs. —We are, etc., «F. C. SPENCER, President. ' H. THOMPSON, Secretary. [The minutes of the meeting of the Wellington Plumbers' Union, referred | to irf the letter, were shown to "The i Post" and contained the resolution ap- i proving the holding of thejjnass meet-i ing.—Ed.] |
