FARMERS' UNION
AUCKLAND RESOLUTIONS
(P.A.)
AUCKLAND, This Day,
After a lengthy discussion in committee today, the Auckland provincial conference of the New Zealand Farmers' Union, by 62 votes to 25, carried a resolution approving the principle of compulsory unionism in respect of the Farmers' Union membership.
The committee was charged with preparing a method to introduce compulsion within the union's own ranks and not by legislation.
By 42 votes to 22 the conference favoured making it compulsory for all eligible men to join the Home Guard. The conference also favoured compulsory attendance at parades. An amendment that compulsion should apply only to youths from 16 years of age to Territorial age was lost, also an amendment that all eligible men be posted to Home Guard or E.P.S. organisations.
