CARPENTERS AND JOINERS
“BROTHERS FROM OVERSEAS.” At the meeting of the Wellington Trades Council this week one of the delegates of. the Amalgamated Society of Carpenters and Joiners complained that a delegate of the union was no longer allowed to go on the incoming steamers along with the port health officer, as had been the custom in the past, to meet any carpenters and joiners arriving from the Old Country, and give them any advioe and assistance they needed. The Government, he stated, had recently taken the 6tand that this was no longer to be permitted; but he could not see why the carpenters and joiners’ delegate was not allowed to do this, when an officer of the Salvation Army was allowed to go and meet the overseas boats to do just the same work that he would do. The council generally sympathised with the claim that the delegate made on behalf of his union.
