Per Press Association,- ~ „ Auckland, Juno 19. tor of t,lv y kfaeg. managing director of tlie New Zealand Dairy Association, in a circular letter, says: "Whllo considering the published demands of the Canterbury Employee's Union and the piospeets of a similar union being forin)t „f"i 0Ur l ?T 1 di9tricts - wo thought mat be ?, llera H on 3 ° f unions !;l,fi , g y reducetl adop. lion by dairy companies of contract syst* n instead of the. present wages plan. . J , s y 8t(!ln w"l. we think, be Lore useful m case of companies which have a number of contributing creameries. C Lameiy work, where one person, or at most two persons, are employed, especially lends itself to being done by conduct. Some of the more definite opertr--tions of the butler factory may also be specified, so as to be let on contract, the advantage of this would be that ali work so let would be outside the influonce of industrial unions. Labor. laws ' would not touch this manner of conducting business, provided bona fide contracts for specified work were entered into. Contracts would require to be in contradistinction. to an arrangement for piece work. 1 Ins latter comes under the jurisdiction of the Arbitration Court."
