TRAMWAYS DISPUTE
GOVERNMENT ACTION
URGED BY THE CHAMBER OF COMMERCE.
(By Telegraph—Press Association.) AUCKLAND. May 2.
“If this continues indefinitely the damage to city business is likely to be serious." said Mr L. A. Eady, vicepresident of (he Auckland Chamber of Commerce, in discussing tho go-slow tactics of tramway employees at a meeting of the chambers.
He stated the city was already suffering from the position and suggested that the chamber should approach the Government to take action along constitutional lines.
"It seems to me that the Tramway Union is flouting the law." said Mr B. 11. Kingston. "It is a perfectly legal argument as to who is correct, and the Court of Arbitration is the one to decide. The union can be deregistered if it does not play the game.”
The matter was referred to the communications and transport committee, which met immediately. It was decided to urge the Minister of Labour. Mr Webb, to use his influence and powers to bring about an early settlement of the dispute on a constitutional basis.
