THE AFFILIATION QUESTION “GOVERNMENT DETERMINED IN ITS ATTITUDE.” , STATEMENT BY MINISTER. Tile proposal of tile Post and Telegraph Oiiieers’ Association to join the Alliance of Labour was referred to by the Postmaster-General (the Hon. J. CL Coates) in the course of his speech at Dargnville. Mr Coates said the Government was quite' determined in its attitude not to countenance tho union. Any section or man of the service had an open door to him. He regretted that tlm executive did not always refer its difficulties to him. During Ids term as Minister many grievances had been settled, such us annual leave, tellers’ allowance, increments, amj 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 he scaled without a lot of unnecessary aira sometimes unpleasant talk.
