HON. J. A. MILLAR AND LABOUR.
BLACKGUARDED FOR DOING HIS BEST. Wellington, Oct. 14. A deputation waited on the Minister of Labour regarding the refusal of the Arbitration Court to grant an award in the private hotel workers’ dispute at Auckland. Hon. J Millar said he declined to bring in an amendment to the Act which would include boardinghouses. The deputation said that was not asked for. Mr. Millar, continuing, said he had done his best in the past, but had been blackguarded from one end of the country to the other by the men f< i- whom he had worked. He would not put up with it and he would not be bounced by the Employers’ Federation or the Cooks’ I nion, but would stand by the interests of the union. The deputation was trying to blame the department for something the Court had done. The constitution of the Court would have to be altered, but it would require to be carefully done.
