BUILDING JOB DISPUTE
REPRESENTATION AT CONFERENCE
MR WILLIAMSON REFUSES TO COMMENT
“I have no comment to make, and nobody is going to ask me guestions cn it.” said Mr W. Williamson, managing-director of the Williamson Construction Company, Ltd., when he was asked about the conference on the dispute at the company’s Civic Centre job at Auckland. A report that he was undecided whether he would attend the compulsory conference called by the Minister of Labour (Mr W. Sullivan) was referred to Mr Williamson. “I am not responsible for manufactured reports,” he said. “I have not made up my mind,” he said, when he was asked whether he would attend the conference. When asked whether he would send a representative, he replied: “I have no comment to make, and nobody is going to ask me questions.” Mr Williamson then terminated the telephone conversation. When Mr Sullivan announced the conference, he said that representatives of the company and the New Zealand Federation of Labour had been requested to attend a comnulsory conference to be he’d in Wellington at ’0.30 a.m. next Wednesday.
