DIVIDED FORCES
NATIONAL UNION OFFICIALS REITERATE THEIR STATEMENTS STRIKE NOT W ANTED Wellington, Sunday Statements made at a meeting of relief workers in Hastings on Friday are challenged by the headquarters of the National Union of Unemployed in Wellington. Mv. S. F. Vella, secretary and Mr. D. McLaughlin, treasurer of the Union, state that the official figures show small support for the strike, They also say that two delegates from Hawkes Bay refused an invitation to inspect all eorrespondence in the hands of the union in reference to the strike. One _ of these delegates demanded national action, threatening to "go through New Zealand and break up the union" if such action was not forthcoming. Messrs Vella and McLaughlin state that the union will not be a party to misleading statements regarding the extent of the strike. The telegrams referred to at Hastings and which it was alleged gave a false impression of the position in other cenrres, had not reached Wellington. This method of stirring up national action was discouraged by the national union.
