WAIKATO STRIKE
CARPENTERS GUARANTEE ASSISTANCE (P.A.) WELLINGTON, March 24. “The strike on the Mangakino hydroelectric works continues and the men are standing solid,” said a statement from the head office of the New Zealand Workers’ Union to-day. “Negotiations regarding the setting up of a tribunal to consider the dispute have not reached finality. Even when negotiations do reach finality it will be necessary for the proposals to be submitted to the Mangakino men for their acceptance or otherwise.” The president of the New Zealand Carpenters’ and Joiners’ Union (Mr F. L. Langley) announced after a meeting of the national council of the union today that the council had decided to guarantee financial assistance to the Mangakino strikers if it was called upon by the New Zealand Workers’ Union. This decision was reached in view of the appeal by the New Zealand Federation of Labour to its affiliations.
