GREAT INDUSTRIAL MOVE

Mr. C. Grayndier, Secretary of the New Zealand Workers' Union, who is now on holiday, -left for Sydney last Friday. In addition to having a wellearned res£-,-.nd change, he will arrange tho filial steps in the amalgamation of the N.Z.W.U. with the Australian Work rs' Union. Speaking to a Worker rcpriscntative, Mr. Grayndp Iff said that Hie comptpfiofi of this v.;ork would moan great pAslbililies for the rural workers of this country. Many years ago the A.W.U. launched a scheme similar to that undertaken by the A.P.U. five years ago, for the union of all country into one organisation. As with the New Zealand body, their progress for years was very slow. It was only within the last ten years that the A.W.U. had reached the stage its pioneers of the eighties and nineties set out to attain. Although the whole of the ideals of the A.W.U. have not been achieved, it has been successful iti reaching the rural workers and converting them to unionism, and has built up an immense organisation having a large amount of property and a modern newspaper plant. The amalgamation of Iho two bodies will be a vast stride I in the industrial movement in Australasia, and will be welcomed by all who look to industrial unionism as the basis of the Labor movement.
