UNION WITH ALLIANCE
THE P. AND T. OFFICERS. GOVERNMENT DETERMINED. STATEMENT BY MINISTER. [Bt TELET.EAPH. —OWN CORRESPONDENT.] DARGAVILLE. Friday. The question of the proposal of the Post and Telegraph Officers' Association to join the Alliance of Labour referred to by the Postmaster-General, Hon J. G. Coates, in the course of his speech here to-night. Mr. Coates said the Government was quit© determined in its attitude not to countenance the union. Referring to remarks in Katipo, he said he certainly took a keen interest in the service, and was fully seized of their difficulties. Any section ,or man of the service had an open door to him. He regretted that the executive did not always refer its difficulties to him. During his term as Minister many grievances had been settled, such as annual leave, tellers' allowance, increments, and other matters. Nothing was too small to put right. If mistakes were made he must see they were not made again. He felt confident that if the association would meet him frankly on all matters many difficulties would be settled without a lot of unnecessary, and sometimes unpleasant, talk.
