PREFERENCE TO UNIONISTS.
Sir,—The New Zealand Welfare League has a letter in your Monday's issue with which, as a good citizen, and quite secondarily as a unionist, 1 completely disagree. To be brief, I would not support the claim of preference if I could not support it on the broad grounds of citizenship. It is a mistake to suppose that the employers are all opposed to preference The unionists have given up something in agreeing to carry on their work under the law, and they are only claiming the protection of the law in return for what they have relinquished. Nonprotection of unionists means protection of non-unionists, and the non-unionists would be able to get all they wanted without any share of trouble and expense. Preference to Unionists.
