"GRAVE MISTAKE"
-Press Aosociation.)
Action of Minister Criticised
(By Telegraph-
PALMERSTON N., Jan. 20. "It is my opinion that the Government appears to be making a grave mistake in promising to go further . than the provisions of the C^urt of Arbitration award. One naturally wonders where it will all end," said Mi Neil Campbell, president of the Manawatu Provincial Executive of the Farmer's Union, to-day regarding the action taken by the Minister of Labour, the Hon. H. T. Armstrong, in settling the stay-in freezing strike. "It seems ridiculous that a Minister of the Government should discard the very thing his party has been fighting for for years, and which has put the country to considerable expense to establish," he said. "It is all very well the freezing workers going in for a stay-in strike, but one hesitates to think what the position would be if the farmers were to adopt similar measures should they consider the guaranteed price too small."
