FARM LABOURERS' DISPUTE.
A GUINEA FUND. By Telegraph—Press Association. FEILDING, September 11. A guinea subscription fund was opened in the "Feilding Star" office this afternoon at the request of representative farmers, as a means of showing their appreciation of the successful efforts of the farmers of Canterbury in opposing the demands of the Farm Labourers' Union. Within a short time eleven farmers from Feilding, Cheltenham, Waituna, Bulls, Airangi, Makino, Awahuri and Kiwitca had contributed a guinea j each. The organisers of the fund also intend the movement to be an expression of confidence in the ArbiI tration Court's attitude towards the argicultural and pastoral interests. The contributors feel that it is only fair that the farmers of the whole Dominion should recognise that the farmers of Canterbury, by so sturdily contesting the demands of the Farm Labourers' Union, really saved every farmer much expense. It is intended to communicate with Messrs David Jones and Acland.
