PETONE GAS WORKERS
FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE FROM
THE WATERSIDERS.
The Pet-one gasworks dispute was one of the., matters discussed ai the "stopwork" meeting of the Wellington Waterside Workers Union yesterday. Members of the union were given a very full x'eport of the recent combined conference of Labour unions held in the Trades Hall, and the present position was reported upon by the president (Mr. L. Glover). The decision to give financial .and moral support to the workers who, it was alleged, had been locked out, was endorsed. The meeting decided to vote £25 in aid of the wives and children of these men. It was also decided to take up what is known as a "bucket" collection next pay-day (Friday). This system differs from a straight-out levy in that members of the union contribute voluntarily such amounts as they can spare. A big response is anticipated.
