One statement in Mr. Read's circular "takes I lie bun." lie states that a few hot-heatis in the King Country, without consulting his Tnion, formed a I'nion themselves. Now, is it not a fact, Mr. ilead. that on several different occasions you have been approached by workers in Hie King Country with the- request that your Union undertake (he organisation of the King Country mills, and 13 it not true, that despite these invitations, you ai:t:olutely failed to do so? As for the statement that "a few hotheads" formed the King Country Union, will Air. -lead explain how it is that (he inritilMT'-hip v.i file Itiug {.'ountry Union is SOU lvluit , liie mem- Ixrslii]) oi lite Wellington Iniois is

Seeing that Mr. Read to all intents and purposes took the side of the [King Country employers against the workers he will be interested to be reminded of the inconsistencies of tho employers generally in (heir attitude I towards awards. -In the case of the Auckland Suit Goods Employees' Union the employers' representative objected to i.:i award being made, ler-ause, ..lleged) ,, ,*thc majority of the v( rkers in the industry did not want an av.'ard. while in the present case w» iir.'.l just the opposite. The 800 limber workers in the King Country, who do not want an award, are forced under an award by a I'nion of 57 members, and we lind a so-called Labor representative assisting "master's" representative lo bludgeon the S(»o uncle" an award which is of no benefit to them. Further, will Mr. stead explain why in Palmerston .North a few weeks ago he told Mr. Langstone that when the case came before the Court lie intended !o ask the Court to exempt all the King CouWry mills? And what induced Mr. I {•.-■nil in such a short lime to somersault?

I have a vivid recollection of an individual who once assisted "master's" representative to block the registration of the A.P.U., but the result since has very much upset Hie losses'

calculations. The A.P.U. has evolved into a t igger organisation and its membership is increasing. l»y leaps and bounds,' but where is "Banjo" Hunter, the individual alluded, to? Don't forget Mr. Read,' the N.2.W.U. will continue to grow, while you, unless you are very careful, will be in ol: scarify with "Banjo."—Yours, etc., J. TOWNSEXD.'
