DEMAND FOR WITHDRAWAL OF DEREGISTRATION
(P.A.) CHRISTCHURCH, April 2. “This branch of the New Zealand Waterside Workers’ Union 1 condemns the action of the Minister of Labour in deregistering the Auckland branch of the Carpenters’ Union, thus leaving the way open for the formation of a strike-breaking union,” says a resolution passed yesterday at a special stopwork meeting of the Lyttelton Waterside Workers’ Union. The resolution added: “We feel this action of a Minister in a Labour Government can do nothing but harm to the Labour movement and create a position that the enemies of the work-ing-class movement have endeavoured to bring about and were unable to do when they occupied the Treasury benches. “We demand, unless the Labour Government wishes to place itself in the same position as the Massey Government in 1913. that it immediately withdraw' the deregistration of the legallyconstituted Auckland branch of the Carpenters’ Union.”
