THE RECENT GISBORNE STRIKE.
COLLECTING THE FINES. BY TELEGRAPH—PRESS ASSOCIATION. GISBORNE, June 24. Considerable indignation has beeh expressed locally at the action of the local factory inspector in attaching the wages of members of the Freezers' Union, who had failed to pay fines.
Speaking to a "Times" reporter, the Inspector of Factories (Mr Carmody) said that the members of the Freezers' Union, whose wages were attached in payment 4 of fines, had every opportunity to pay during the last six months, but made 110 effort to do so.
"They were written to time and again," the Inspector explained, "and I even went to the trouble of seeing them personally. They promised to come, into the office and make arrangements to pay up, but did not do so, and failed to keep promises made. On Saturday week last some members of the Union cams into my office and made arrangements to pay by instalments, and their wages were not interfered with. Moreover," added Mr Carmody, "the amount earned through the increased pay obtained through the strike would have paid the fine over and over again."
