ESSENTIAL INDUSTRIES
ATTACK ON EMERGENCY REGULATIONS. AT LABOUR MEETING IN AUCKLAND. (Bv Telegraph—Press Association.) AUCKLAND, This Day. Considerable dissatisfaction with the new fgLprgency regulations regarding essentW industries was expressed at a large mid representative meeting of the Auckland Trades Council of the Federation of Labour last night. It was decided to take no part in carrying cut the regulations and to ask for an emergency conference of the Federation to endorse a plan for co-operation in the war effort between workers and employers, by a system of production committees and local councils. These bodies would have an equal representation of employers and workers, with a Government appointee as chairman. “The opinion was general that these regulations are coercive and more calculated to bring about disunity than co-operation in the war effort,” said Mr F. Craig, vice-president of the council, who was chairman. “The meeting was unanimously in favour of a united war effort, but took exception to the fact that regulations had been introduced without any consultation with the rank and file of the industrial labour movement. It was considered that the only result of the regulations will be dissension.”
