DUNEDIN DISCONTENT.
ACTION THOUGHT UNLIKELY. (By Telegraph—Press Association.) DUXEDES', Friday. Commenting on the building trade position in Wellington, Mr. R. C. Roes, secretary of the Dunedin Carpenters' Union, stated that his executive had not yet discussed the matter. "I think it unlikely that any action will be taken in Dunedin," Mr. Ross said, "although, of course, I cannot make any definite statement until my executive meets and is able to discus* the position with a full knowledge of the facts." Mr. Rose added that the local union was definitely dissatisfied with the new award and also with the existing practice of transporting the men to the State housing scheme in trucks. "They are boxed in like sheep going to the Mleyards," he added.
