APOLOGY TO MINISTER
TENDERED BY MOTUEIvA MEN. Per Press Association. WELLINGTON, July 3. The apology lie demanded from the workers at the Motueka aerodrome was received by the Minister of Public Works (Hon. R. Semple) to-day. The message reads: ‘‘This section of the New Zealand Workers’ Union apologises and withdraws all the resolutions reflecting on the Minister of Public Works or oil the Government.” The Minister replied by telegram in the following terms: “I have received your wire containing the apology and the withdrawal of the resolutions passed by your section. Thanks for the same. All I ask. of your section, and public works workmen generally, is service, loyalty, and goodwill. If these are forthcoming I shall endeavour to be the friend of the workmen. On the other hand, if malingering, wrecking, or organised disturbances are created without any logical reason, as in your case, you can expect from me no quarter.”
