After a lengthy deliberation an amendment was put and carried to. the effect that the Drivers' Federation take a referendum of the whole of the members of the unions affiliated with it on the question as to whether the federation shall join the Mills' Unity scheme or the New Zealand Federation of Labour as soon as the copies of the constitution of both the Unity Federation and Federation of Labour are available. Then a ballot shall be taken on the distinct understanding " that unless the Drivers' Federation decides to join either of the_ federations, as a federation, no individual union joins either of the federations referred to as a union.
