CO-OPERATIVE SYSTEM.
DEFENDED BY HON J. G. COATES. (BY TELEGRAPH —PRESS ASSOCIATION. WELLINGTON, Oct. 27. _“The co-operative system, under which so much of the Government’s works have been carried out for the last 30 years,” says tbe Hon. J. G. Coates in the Public Works Statement, “has been the target of much abuse, particularly by those who are not in possession of all the facts. It is interesting to note that the contractors for a certain length of railway have already a large number of men employed, on the co-operative system. The conditions of the contract safeguard th© interests of the workers Toy requiring the contractor to provide housing accommodation and. other facilities practically on an equality with those provided on the works which the department itself directly controls.”
