[Per United Press Association.]
WANGANUI, October 11. _ Interviewed by a ‘ Herald ’ representative, the secretary of the Wanganui Waterside Workers’ Union said that his union had received no complaints re an increase of pilfering, as complained of in Auckland. The status of the men working on the wharf had been, greatly improved since the formation of the union, one of whose objects had been to do away with even the suspicion of this sort of thing. He ridiculed the idea that the unions were encouraging such practices. The Wanganui Harbor Board authorities also state that since the formation of the Waterside Workers’ Union bece there hod been a remarkable absence of pilfering—opinions which are borne out by local merchants.
