STRONG EXCEPTION TAKEN
COMMISSIONER’S REMARKS DAIRY FARMERS CONCERNED At a well-attended meeting of committeemen representing mid-Waikato suppliers to the New Zealand Cooperative Dairy Company, held in Hamilton yesterday, there was considerable discussion concerning the statement which has been attributed to Mr M. J. Reardon, Conciliation Commissioner, wherein he is reported to have said that he saw no need to shed tears over the misfortunes of the farmer, his opinion being that they were doing fairly well, although they were eloquent In their own misfortunes. They had received substantial consideration from the Government but he doubted whether any of them had shown much gratitude. The meeting was of the opinion that Mr Reardon had shown a complete disregard for that impartiality which is usually looked for in one occupying such a position. The following resolution was unanimously carried: — "That this conference of committeemen takes the strongest exception to the remarks attributed to Mr M. .1. Reardon. Conciliation Commissioner, in reference to the farmer's position when the demands made by the freezing workers were under consideration."
