THE MERCHANTS' EMPLOYEES' UNION.
Sir,—An advertisement just published regarding the warehouse employers forcing their men to sign a petition is a gross misstatement of facts, which can only have been devised to deceive people. It is not the employers who are getting up a petition but the employees, who are indignant that these agitators for a union are trying to get skilled men in their ranks. 1 am an employee in one of the largest warehouses in this city, and I have been interested in the movement against being dragged into a union without being consulted, and, I can assure you, that, the employers have not had a linger in the matter. My fellow-employees liave been almost unanimous in their protest against a union. Anything that is said to the contrary will not be believed, nor will an excuse that the persons making these misleading statements have been misinformed be accepted by my fellowemploytcs. This latest move is but a cunning one, characteristic of the. organisation and designed to dcceive people. —I am, etc., A WAREHOUSE EMPLOYEE. Wellington, August 21.
