Press Association.
MV last night. * r ‘ e ,, "ft ®P ra Sß> managing director of the N.Z. Dairy Association, m a circular letter says: —“While the published demands ot the Canterbury Employees’ Union and the prospects of a similar union being formed in our own districts, we have thought that the hurtful operations of such unions may be greatly reduced by the adoption by dairy companies of the contract system, instead of the present wages plan. This system will, we think, be more use- > tul in the case of companies which have a number of contributing creameries. Creamery work where: 0110 or at most two persons are employed, specially lends itself to being done by contract. Some of the more definite operations of a butter factory may also be specified, so as to be let on contract. Tim advantage of . this would bo that all work So let would Be outside the influence of industrial unions. Labor laws vould not touch this. The manner of conducting the business, provided bona fide contractors for speci- 1 lied work entered into contracts, would require to be ill contradistinction to an arrangement for piecework, 'this latter comes under flic jurisdiction of the Arbitration' pcnift'.R
