UNION EXECUTIVES' POWER
(To the Editor.)
Sir, —It seems to me incredible that I a loophole exists in the law permitting unions to have the extraordinary power of limiting their membership and then closing the union and creating a monopoly in the right to work. A capable man of good character may not even be allowed the right to work at his own trade. Surely some member of the House will think it worth his or her while to get this matter rectified. —I am, etc., P.H.D.
The nature of the boom which Johannesburg is experiencing is indicated in a letter received by a Dunedyi resident who once lived there (telegraphs "The Post's" Dunedin correspondent). His African correspondent writes:—"There is any amount of work at present, and the mines cannot get enough men. All the old properties that had been closed down are opening up again. They are even advertising for miners on the screens at picture shows. There is no end of work for men in the building trade. It is really astonishing the amount of building that is going on at present."
