TRADE UNION CONGRESS DEMONSTRATIONS
Sir, —While much of the substance of your sub-leader of May 29 may be true and of good sense, it is true also that little social progress has been made without a fuss. Your reference to “loss of valuable industrial production” was apt and will be recognised by most people. However, don’t worry about it. This is not a matter for concern even on a Ministerial level. The local “galloping” crowd, the cream of the province, is not concerned; nor is the Geraldine Club, which has written Wellington to make “carnival dates” mandatory as Regards the Trotting Club. The poor old fogies, their eyes cocked backward to the days when you reported that Mrs X. wore such an such and forward only to “outside tote” and top-hats with Mr Holland. Congress stop-work meetings, C.J.C. carnival meetings—what’s the difference? Perhaps one’s the kettle, the other the pot.—Yours etc., SUBSCRIBER. May 30, 1950.
