MR. YOUNG TAKES NO NOTICE
When questioned on the subject by » Post reporter this afternoon, Mr. Young said : "I may say that I take absolutely no notice whatever of it, for the reason, that the officers of the Wellington branch are not at the dictation of a meeting of twelve or thirteen members that nnghfc assemble at Dunedin. "So far as Auckland is concerned I know nothing about any attitude that they have taken up with regard to the .strike. A branch is at liberty, of course, to please itself in any action that it may take, just' the same as this branch is. I will not personally tolerate any interference from Auckland or Dunedin, which two places have been deadends'in the seamen's organisation -for the past eighteen months. The only real bit of activity displayed on behalf of the seamen of this country can safely be laid at the door of the Wellington branch. My position in the Seamen's Union is one for the members of that body to determine. So far as the communication from Dunedin is concerned I shall certainly place it before a mass meeting of seamen for their consideration." "'
