CUFF AND COLLAR PRIDE
UNIONISM TOO VULGAR. By Telegraph—Press Association. Wellington, Monday. Aibout 100 clerical assistants waited on the Minister of Laibor to-day to protest against being included in the union of merchants' assistants and to suggest they should be given power by an amendment of the law of making such a protest officially before the court. After the principal spokesman had stated his case the proceedings resolved themselves into an argument between some meniibers of Parliament present and the Minister on the Arbitration Act in general and unionism in particular. The deputation said it did not object to the formation of n union, Ivut there was a great difference between manual labor in a warehouse and clerical assistance. They were not fighting unionism as a principle. The Minister said he had received information that the clerical departments were going to be struck out of the scope of the union. He promised to. go into the whole matter and believed the power now sought already existed. He, how-, ever, would not promise to provide the power if it did not exist, as he did not wish to frustrate unionism in any vfar.
