CIRCULARS OBJECTED TO
BY TRADES UNIONS
(United Press Association.)
DUNEDIN, I’his Day
At. a meeting of representatives of trades unions to discuss a circular fiom the Minister of Labour dealing with the internal administration ot unions a resolution was carried that Seoton 3 of the ■Conciliation and Arbitration Amendment Act already provides for the keeping of union accounts in an efficient and simple manner, and the suggestions from tin* Minister can only be regarded as irritating, vexatious and uncalled for. They cannot recognise the Government’s right- to interfere with the ’internal business of unions, and deplore the actio.) of the Minister in endeavouring to introduce by legislation anything that will interfere with the liberty of any individual union or association. Regarding a circular from the Commissioner of Taxes asking for the names and addresses of members of the union, it was decided to enter an emphatic protest against the Commissioner’s endeavour to have the unions do work that rightly belongs to his department.
