TEST OF STRENGTH
UNIONS AND GOVERNMENT TROUBLE IN AUCKLAND. FORECAST OF A CLASH. (By Telegraph—Press Association.) AUCKLAND, January 22. A test of strength between the Government and certain industrial unions seems likely to develop in Auckland within the next few weeks. Recent Government orders resulting in variation of awards have already caused some murmufings of trouble and some open breaches here.
That the Government intends to act strongly in this regard is indicated by information obtained unofficially today that a large number of summonses are in course of preparation because of recent stoppages of work at the Westfield Freezing Works and the city abattoir, which is also situated at Westfield. The number of freezing workers affected by the summonses, it is stated, is likely to be in the vicinity of 140. The number of summonses concerning abattoir workers is not known. The first hint that the Government is likely to be challenged comes from the Auckland Drivers’ Union, which was concerned yesterday in the industrial upset on the question of the annual picnic holiday, and hints at further action regarding the Anniversary Day holiday on Thursday next.
