Time For Showdown With Carpenters
(P.A.) WELLINGTON, Mar. 7. Commenting on the carpenters’ dispute at Auckland, the Leader of the Opposition, Mr. S. G. Holland, said it was high time a halt was called to defiance of the law and intimidation and that, it was made plain to those who would wreck our industrial system and bring great suffering to people that they were not going to be allowed to succeed.
The Auckland dispute, he said, looked as if it was likely to develop into a major industrial conflagration.
“At some time there has to be a showdown,” said Mr. Holland. “It might as well be now as at any other time —in fact it would be better now. If an organised go-slow is to be used to imtimidate the Court of Arbitration, then the sooner it is shown that those methods will not pay the better for everyone concerned.”
