A telegram was received |froxn the secretary of the Advisory Board of the Employers’ Federation in Wellington, suggesting that, as the Minister of Labour had undertaken to bring in amended legislation for the purpose of preventing the aiding and abetting of strikes, the Federation refrain from making a test case in the meantime.
