NATIONAL POLICY DISCUSSED
Candidate Speaks To Watersiders (New Zealand Press Association) WELLINGTON. Nov. 26. Between 800 and 900 members of the Wellington Amalgamated Waterside Workers’ Union yesterday gave the National Party candidate for Wellington Central, Mr M. Wall, a warm hearing. The meeting was held in the union’s lunch room. Union officials declined to admit a reporter, and objected to the presence of two policemen, but after a debate with the members of the union executive, the objection to the police attending was withdrawn. Interjections were stated to be fairly constant, but Mr Wall kept his listeners’ attention for most of the meeting. The secretary of the union (Mr O. Bruce) said the union had heard the Social Credit candidate last* Friday. The executive of the union regarded the meetings not as ordinary political meetings, open to the newspapers, but as private union meetings. When Mr Wall was approached he said: “We are here as guests.”
