POSITION IN SOUTH.
NO STOPPAGE OF WORK.
RETICENCE IN WELLINGTON.
(By Telegraph.—Press Association.)
WELLINGTON, Friday.
Although no statement on the position in Wellington so far as oil company drivers is concerned was forthooming tonight from the secretary of the Wellino-. ton Drivers' Union, Mr. A. Parlane, it was learned that there would be' no stoppage of work until the position had been fully considered bv the Wellington unionists.
"Because of the- five-day week, there is very little work done on Saturday, anyway," said Mr. Parlane, "and the question as to what move, if any, will be made next week remains to be seen" Surprise at the tone of the statement by the secretary of the Auckland Drivers' Union, indicating expectation of a Dominion-wide stoppage, was expressed in both union and employers' circles. Union spokesmen were disinclined to commit themselves, but would not admit the existence of any agreement for concerted action on a Dominion scale.
