APPRENTICES UNWELCOME
CARPENTERS’ UNION ACTION.
[per press association.]
CHRISTCHURCH, May 7.
A unusual position, in regard to the employment of apprentices in the carpentry and joinery trades, was revealed at a meeting of the Canterbury Builders’ Association. It was stated that a deadlock had arisen on the Apprenticeship Committee, as the result of the workers’ representatives refusing to agree to the granting of any application for new apprentices at the present time. The Union, it was said, had applied to the Arbitration Court for power to restrict the number of apprentices, on account of the depressed state of the building trade.
