STRIKERS IN COURT
WESTFIELD WORKS MEN
(P.A.) AUCKLAND, This Day. As a sequel to the stoppage of-work at the Westfield freezing works on January .15, 63 mutton slaughtermen were charged at the Police Court that being party to a strike they partially discontinued their employment, contrary to regulations. They pleaded guilty, and the Magistrate, Mr. Luxford, in ordering them to come up for sentence if called within a year, said they would not be called if work proceeded in a right and proper way. The Magistrate said it appeared to him that the men had good cause for complaint concerning the provision of transport for workers, but they had spoilt it by taking direct action. Anomalies must be ironed out.
