(P.A.) AUCKLAND, August 20. About 1500 vehicles used for the transport of a wide range of goods will be off the roads in the city and suburbs to-morrow morning during a stop-work meeting of the Drivers’ Union, to be held at the Town Hall at 8 o’clock. Drivers of general carrying trucks, except owner-drivers and drivers of delivery vehicles used by bakers, laundries, warehouses, breweries and other firms, will be at the meeting. It is likely to last about two hours, after which the men are expected to resume work. Passenger buses, service cars, taxis and local body vehicles will run as usual as the drivers are not concerned in the business of the „ meeting, which has been called as a protest against delays in introducing a new Dominion Motor and Horse Drivers’ Award. The executive of the union has decided that drivers of trucks used for delivery of milk to schools should not stop work for the meeting.
