FARM WORKERS’ WAGES
STATEMENT BY MR W. J. POLSON “NO APPREHENSION NEED BE FELT” CONFERENCE WITH GOVERNMENT [From Our Parliamentary Reporter.] WELLINGTON, March 27. Farmers need feel no apprehension about the outcome of the deliberations of the Farmers’ Union representatives with the Government on farm labour wages and conditions, according to the president of the New Zealand Farmers’ Union (Mr W. J. Poison).
In an interview to-day Mr Poison said the farmers might have become a little concerned, but he thought they would be treated more reasonably than they might have expected. “The committee of the union will safeguard their position as far as is in its power,” Mr Poison said. “The terms cannot be discussed in ;he meantime until the Government has dealt with them, but I think I can claim that they will be regarded as fair, taking all the circumstances into consideration.”
