THOUGHTS FOR THE TIMES
Preference and Work. While among the unions a great deal of weight is attached to the preference principle, the majority of employees see the matter in a different light. On their part a great deal of opposition has been expressed to the introduction of preference in any circumstances, and it "'ill not be very surprising if. when the opportunity is offered in Parliament, an effort will lie made to have the principle of preference abolished altogether. What the trade unions might profitably ponder, perhaps, in relation to this question, is whether preference is not a source of weakness to unionism itself since it must have brought into its ranks many workers who are not in sympathy with its industrial and political policy.—“Otago Daily Times.”
