DAY OF UNIONS
aspect of selfishness
HAMILTON, October 7
“This is the day of unions and compulsory unionism,” said Mr fe>. L. Paterson, S.M., at the annual dinner of the Waikato branch of the Heal Estate Institute. Mr Paterson added that it seemed that where trade unions failed, and where they would continue to fail, was that they vveio organisations devoted almost emirely to selfish ends. Such an organisation as the Real Estate Institute would survive because its aims were not selfish, Mr Paterson said. It aimed at serving the public, educating its members, and inculcating the principles of business morality among them so that they might give better service to the public. The institute could learn something from trade unionism by making membership sompulsory and a qualification for receiving a license, he added. Bf doing this, an improvement in the smvice would b-‘ assure 1, while the interests of the members would be conserved.
