KAWERAU BONUS ISSUE
WORKERS TO MEET TODAY
(New Zealand Press Association) WELLINGTON, April 18.
The secretary of the WeUlngton Carpenters’ Union (Mr W. F. Molineux) left Wellington tonight to attend a mass meeting of workers tomorrow at Kawerau. Mr Molineux said that the meeting would “discuss the employers’ failure to negotiate,” and that representatives of the Auckland Labourers’ Union and the Auckland Builders’ Union would attend. The workers, he said, wished to meet the employers in a conference over the payment of a 6 per cent, bonus. This bonus was paid to workers on the mill site, but not to similar workers engaged on the town site. Work at Kawerau was resumed after an eight-day .stoppage last month pending the holding of a conference between the parties on the 6 per cent, bonus. Union appeals to the Government to make compulsory the calling of a conference were declined, said Mr Molineux.
