UNION DEREGISTERED
AUCKLAND BUS DRIVERS DECISION OF GOVERNMENT (P.A.) WELLINGTON, Jan. 10. A decision to deregister the Auckland Drivers’ Union was made by tne Cabinet at a meeting this afternoon, following the action of the Auckland bus drivers in not operating the normal services yesterday. The necessary order was signed by the Minister of Labour, Mr P. C. Webb, to-night. The effect of the cancellation is automatically to cancel the relevant Arbitration Court award in respect of the locality within a 25 miles’ radius of Auckland Chief Post Office. “In accordance with my warning as to what would happen if the drivers carried out their threat and broke the law, the Government has no alternative but to deregister the union,” said the Minister in an interview to-night. “This deprives the union of all its powers of compulsion and preference to unionists. , Everv possible effort was made to bring about a conciliation, but without effect.”
