EMPLOYERS AND MEN
BETTER RELATIONS SOUGHT BUSINESSMEN'S DISCUSSION P.A. DUNEDIN, Wednesday. "It will be for the annual conference to say whether it shall be war between the employers and employees or not," said Mr. A. C. Stephens during a discussion on industrial relations at the monthly meeting of the council of the Dunedin Chamber of Commerce last evening.
Mr. Stephens suggested that the chamber should send a remit to the annual conference of the Associated Chambers of Commerce, asking chambers throughout New Zealand to do all in their power to improve relations between employers and emplovees. Personally, he thought there 'had been a war between employers and employees long enough, and it was time there was a reversal of that attitude.
The president, Mr. A. P. Greenfield, said that no doubt there was a breach, and a very wide breach, between employers and employees, and it would have to be healed before they could march down the road of prosperity. The workers had come into their own.
The chamber approved of Mr. Stephen's suggestion, and it was decided that a suitable remit should be framed for submission to the annual conference.
