THE DAY OF UNIONS
ASPECT OF SELFISHNESS ADDRESS AT HAMILTON [from our own correspondent] HAMILTON, Friday "This is the day of unions and compulsory unionism," said Mr. S. L. Paterson, S.M., at the annual dinner of the Waikato branch of the Real Estate Institute. Mr. Paterson added that it .seemed that where trade unions failed, and where they would continue to fail, was that they were organisations devoted almost entirely .to selfish ends. Such an organisation as the Real Estate Institute would survive because its aims were not selfish, Mr. Paterson said. It aimed at serving the public, educating its members, and inculcating the principles of business morality among them so that they might give better service to the public. The institute could learn something from trade unionism by making membership compulsory and a qualification for receiving a licence, he added. By doing this, an improvement in the service would bo assured, while the interests of tho members would bo conserved.
