MEETING OF EMPLOYERS.

♦ [press association.] DUNEDIN, last night. A special meeting of the Employers' Association was held to-day to consider Government's actions in connection with the Blackball strike, and also the question of aiding and abetting and irr Skerrett's opinion oi' section 14 of the Factories Act Amendment Act, 1907. The following resolutions were carried: That this meeting of Otago employers, expresses its disappointment at the turn tilings have talcen in connection with tho Blackball strike, and vevy muck regrets Government's continued inactivity to enforce the Act. The meeting considers that in the best interests of the community as a whole ! . it should be immediately amended, and made enforceable against all parties or expunged from the Statute Book altogether. Tha<t as Government refuse to take prompt action against those unions who have be<?n guilty of aiding and abetting the strike in passing resolutions of sympathy and donating money to carry on the strike, the Now Zealand Employers' Federation is to be asked to institute proceedings against one or two of the principal offenders, so that the case may be made and the position of employers ascertained. Further, that this meeting is strongly of opinion that radical am.endmenta must bo made to the Industrial and Conciliation and Arbitration Act if it is to be of any lasting benefit to the community and that the local federation be- appointed to draw up the necessary amendments to be approved by the general meeting and forwarded to the federation for submission to employers throughout the dominion.
