LET'S STOP WORK !
Mr. Fletcher Speaks Emphatically.
WELLINGTON'S waterside," work*, ers were to the front, a day or two ago with one of. their curiOtis- notifications to the Harbour Board. The fact that in making, the notification , £hey went back on their distinct pledges proves nothing.' The Board was notifFed that on Wednesday morning the men would stop work to hold a This at a time when the ' wharves were congested and there was a big rush of work. . ,
There is positively no excuse for that 7 sort of thing, and Mr. "Bob" Fletcher '• made no bones about saying l -so. "I lay the blame,"' he said, "on the' irresponsible and tactless leaders." In this connection "irresponsible" and "tactless" are very moderate adjectives; but there can be no question that arrogant;, stupid" ity of tjjis sort does not arise from any general impulse on the part of the men concerned. .When men are. led by professional agitators, the public is always left without reasonable security.
