ATTACHING WAGES TO PAY FINES. ' (BY'; TELEGRAM—PKESS ASSOCIATION".) : :.... Gisborne, June 24. Considerable indignation lias been expressed locally at tlie. action of tho local factory inspector in attaching the of members of the Freezers' Union who had failed to pay fines. Speaking to a "Times" the Inspector of Factories (Mr. Carmody) said that the members of tho Freezers' Union whose, wages 'were attached in' payment of fines had every opportunity to pay during' the last six months, , but made no "effort to do so. "They were written to time and again,", tho Inspector explained, "and 1 'even went to the trobblo of seeing them personally. They promised to come into the office and make arrangements to pay up, but 'did not do so, and failed to keep promises made. On Saturday week' last some members of the Union came into my office and made arrangements to pay by. instalments, and their wages woro not interfered-with. Moreover," added Mr. Carmody, "the amount oarned ■ through tho increased pay obtained through strike would havo paid the'fine over and over again."
