Challenge to Minister
(N.Z. Press Association) AUCKLAND, March 22. An Auckland union executive has challenged the Minister of Labour (Mr Marshall) to name the union “being run by the Red Guard.” A vice-president of the Auckland Boilermakers' Union, Mr V. Flay, said tonight that the executive of his union was democratically elected and that nobody in it belonged to the Red Guard. Mr Flay said the Government was trying to make a scapegoat of the unions because of the way it had mismanaged the country. He planned to bring the matter before the next meeting of the executive of the Boilermakers' Union.
Speaking at a meeting of the Mount Albert branch of the National Party on Saturday night, Mr Marshall blamed what he called a "Red Guard” Communist element in some unions for much of the industrial unrest in the country.
