NEW CARPENTERS’ UNION NOT YET REGISTERED
AUCKLAND, May 22 (P.A.).— The registration of the new Auckland Carpenters’ Union has not been effected. The executive has no knowledge of when the organisation will be given official status, but it hopes that a move will be made early next week. This denial of a rumour from Wellington was made by the president of the organisation (Mr R. J. Peter) today after his return from Wellington. Mr Peter said that the resolution moved by the president of the deregistered union (Mr F. L. Langley) that the dispute be handed back to the Federation of Labour came two months too late. His executive suggested that two months ago at the Carlaw Park meeting. “I implored the men to go back to work and hand the dispute to the Federation,” he explained. “Had they acted constitutionally there would have been no new union.” The walk-out of delegates from the Federation of Labour conferences yesterday was not preconceived or organised, but was an entirely spontaneous movement made in “angered objection to the undemocratic machinations of federation leadership under domination of Mr Finton Patrick Walsh,” says a statement issued after a meeting in Wellington today of the union delegates concerned.
