GRIEVANCES NOT STATED
MILL GIRLS ABSENT FROM WORK UNUSUAL POSITION ARISES (Per United Press Association) AUCKLAND. Dec. 1. Since 27 girls, comprising the weaving section of the Onehunga Woollen Mills, Ltd., failed to report for duty after the luncheon interval on Friday neither they nor their union has acquainted the management with any grievance, nor have any representations whatever been made. The girls have simply not returned to work. In the absence of any demands or a statement of grievances the legal position is said to be that there is not even a dispute or a strike. “If the girls do not return soon we shall have to close the mill down.” said a representative of the management. “The other departments which depend on the weaving department are simply finishing up what work they have in hand in the meantime.” A representative of the union said that so far as he knew the girls wanted an improvement in certain conditions that were outside the scope of_ the award. It was merely a sectional trouble.
