"ACTION COMMITTEE" LOSES FACE
FUTILE CHARGES OF INACTIVITY
Auckland Industrial
Dispute
Federation Of Labour To Handle
(P.A.) Auckland, today. Confidence in the executive of the Auckland Trades Council in the handling of the industrial .dispute was expressed at a special meeting of the council last night. The delegates, in the same resolution, which was carried by 97 votes, to 64, decided to place the matter in the hands of the national executive of the Federation of Labour.
The meeting, called by a requisition from delegates of ten unions centred its discussion around the tactics adopted by the provisional action committee, whose members vigorously defended its policy, and made charges of inactivity against the council's executive. A resolution from the Waterside Workers' Union, moved by its Auckland vicepresident, Mr N. Donaldson, asked for a special meeting of the national council of the Federation of Labour to be convened immediately. This was lost in favour of the confidence amendment proposed by Mr H. F. Gallagher, jun., of the Laundry Workers' Union. A member of the executive, Mr D. Brophy, said it was hoped that, as a result of present negotiations, a settlement would be reached. With the removal of discrimination by employers against workers, the whole dispute would fall to the g f o u n cl.
