HASTINGS MEN REBELLING.
NEW UNION FORMING. (By Telegraph.—Press Association.) NAPIER, Tueeday. A meeting of members of the Hawke's Bay Freezing Workers' Union at Hastings this evening was addressed by Mr. J. Roberts, secretary of the Alliance of Labour, and Mr. O. Mcßrine, president of the Auckland Waterside Workers' Union. The meeting was a stormy one, and a large number of hostile questions were asked, but no opportunity given to vote in approval or otherwise of the action of the alliance in the present trouble.
The only motion put to the meeting was one conveying thanks to the chairman. The result is that the position is unchanged.
There is reason to beieve that volunteer labourers will shortly form -a onion. In that event, many of the men at present idle say they will join if given an opportunity. There is no lack of evidence that union members in this district oppose the course being pursued at the dictation of the Alliance of Labour.
