HARDSHIP TO FARMERS
PREFERENCE TO UNIONISTS CLOSE WATCH ADVOCATED (By Telegraph.—Press Association) WELLINGTON, Tuesday ‘A move by the Federation of Labour to secure legislation giving watertight preference to unionists should be closely watched." said the Dominion president of the New Zealand Farmers' Union. Mr W. W. Mulholland, at a recent meeting of the union executive. It had to be remembered, he said, that the only important section of workers not under the preference to unionists clause were farm workers. If the federation’s request became lawall farm workers would have to become unionists and a laree number of farmers would have to become unionists as well. No farmer would be allowed to work on a neighbouring farmer's property, as many did at the present time, unless he joined a union. I They should make no mistake about it that the desire of the industrial section, which was really in control of the Labour movement, demanded that any loopholes which might exist should he closed up.
