ADDRESS NOT GIVEN
STOCKHOLM PEACE CONFERENCE AUCKLAND WATERSIDERS NOT INTERESTED (P.A.) AUCKLAND, This Day. Watersiders in Auckland refused this morning to hear an address on “the Stockholm Peace Conference” by Rupert Lockwood, who has been lecturing in New Zealand, apparently under dhe auspices of the New Zealand Peace Council.
A stop-work meeting had been called, and it is understood that Mr Lockwood had been invited there by the union executive, in terms of a resolution passed at the last stopwork meeting. The resolution was that he be asked to address members, hut no time was stated.
At to-day’s stop-work meeting a member of the union moved that it be confined to ordinary union business.
It is reported that this was ruled out of order by the Auckland branch president, Mr A. Drennan, but that his ruling was challenged and rejected, also that he then put the mo-, tion, and it was carried. Routine business was discussed for about half an hour. One of those who attended described the meeting as “somewhat hectic.”
