GOODWILL AND UNDERSTANDING.
At the annual meeting of the Canterbury Employers' Association a. Labour representative, Mr. D. G. Sullivan^ was, by invitation, one of tho speakers. Ho emphasised the neod for a better understanding between employers and 'workers. Tho only possiblo basis for the solution of the problems of Capital and Labour was to be found in. tho Scriptural text, "Love thy noighbour as thyself." _ The workers were reaching out for a higher status in society, end, above all, they wished to have the dignity of their manhood recognised—to be respected, and to have a say in the direction of affairs. In articles in the London Times measures for consultation and co-operation between employers and employees hod been suggested. There was just as great a need for tho introduction of some such system in New Zealand. It was because of indifference or hostility to the unions that profit-sharing and co-partnership schemes had previously come to nought.
