WATERFRONT SYSTEM
REPLY TO UNION COMPLAINT (By Telegraph.—Press Association) WELLINGTON, Thursday A further statement on the motion moved by Mr T. N. Warren and carried at a stop-work meeting of members of the Wellington branch of the Waterside Workers’ Federation yesterday was made by the chairman of the Waterfront Control Commission, Mr R. E. Price, tonight. “ The full text of the resolution moved by Mr Warren was placed before hie today,” Mr Price said, “ and I note it expresses complaint because the contract system is operating, while at the same time complaining because it does not apply to all waterside workers. Surely this is inconsistency of the highest order. The resolution goes on to complain that nothing is known of the terms of the contract, and the mover emphasises this in speaking to the motion. Yet he concludes by foretelling the ultimate effect of the contract he claims to know nothing about. In his answer to my reply, Mr Warren admits the terms of the contract were fully discussed at the stopwork meeting at which the resolution was passed.”
