PUBLIC PAYS FOR STOP-WORK MEETINGS
BUSINESSMEN CONCERNED According to the Chamber of Commerce, the two hours’ of complete hold-up on the waterfront during the monthly stop-work meeting of the waterside workers is an expensive business for the public, and should be arranged for some other time. Sunday morning was mentioned.
The chamber’s council discussed the position yesterday in response to a letter from the Wellington Chamber, which is approaching the waterside workers, the employers, and the other chambers. The letter pointed out that the monthly stop-work meetings were held by agreement, and the public, which footed th«) bill for the hold-up was not consulted.
Several members expressed doubt at the wisdom of interfering, but Mr. D. Carter, Auckland manager of the Union Steam Ship Company, considered that representatives from a responsible body might do good, and the chamber decided to support the Wellington body in at least protesting against the holding up of perishable goods.
