FORMATION OF GUILDS
EMPLOYERS ASSAILED * PRIME MINISTER'S .WARNING [BY TELEGRAPH —PRESS ASSOCIATION] WELLINGTON. Thursday A deputation from the New Zealand Alliance of Labour and Trades and Labour Council waited on the Prime Minister, Mr. Savage, and the Minister of Labour, the Hon. H. T. Armstrong, to-day, complaining that by the formation of guilds, which were really company unions inspired by employers, attempts were being made to undermine the industrial legislation being passed by the Government.
"If we find anyone running us into a blind alley he is not going to keep us there long." said the Prime Minister in reply. "They are not getting away with anything. We will cover the whole ground with retrospective legislation."
