The conditions obtaining at tbe cook-house were considered so unsatisfactory that the men last weekdecided to petition tbe Minister for Public Works to immediately remedy the existing conditions, failing which many of the men have signified their intention of leaving the works. - After full discussion, it was unanimously decided that the most effective means of having these conditions improved was to form themselves into a branch of the New Zealand Labour Party.
