WHAT TRADES UNIONS NEED
A DIFFERENT SPIRIT by telegraph.—-Press Association. Christchurch, March 19. “I hope that the trades unions will absorb some of the old guild spirit,” • said Mr. Justice Frazer at a sitting of the Arbitration Court. He said that in some quarters the unions were regarded as bodies that were established merely to get higher wages for the workers. Unions, like the old guilds, should endeavour to do something along the lines of helping their members to become more efficient workers and tradesmen. This could be done through the medium of trade journals and in other ways. He believed that in some unions something of this sort was being done. He thought that progress in the future would be made along these lines.
