UNION SECRETARY'S RIGHTS.
STAGE EMPLOYEES' CLAIM. EMPLOYERS RESENTFUL. (By Telegraph.—Own Correspondent.! WELLINGTON, this day. "The union is seeking to make conditions more difficult for the employers," declared Mr. B. L. Hammond during the hearing of a stage employees' dispute in the Arbitration Court.
"It comes to a pretty state of affairs," added Mr. Hammond, "when the union wants to dictate to the theatrical companies for what tours employees shall be engaged. Then there is the claim of right of entry by the union secretary. He wants the absolute right to go to Fullers' or the Opera House at any time without payment of admission, go on the Rtage, nose around, not say so much as 'Beg your pardon,' and remain for the performance. That is not even allowed in Australia, with its advanced legislation, and I hope the Court will not give the union secretary the right to free entertainment."
