UNION’S VIEW OF POSITION
NOT A GOVERNMENT MATTER (P.A.) AUCKLAND, Jan. 10. ‘‘We are prepared to open negotiations with the proprietors, but we do not consider it a matter for the Government,” said Mr L. G. Matthews, secretary of the Auckland Drivers’ Union, this afternoon before the Cabinet’s decision was known. The dispute should be confined to the two original oarties, said Mr Matthews. The proprietors had been successful in manoeuvring the Minister into a position where he had accepted what was in actual fact the responsibility of the omnibus proprietors. The president of the Auckland Omnibus Proprietors’ Association, Mr N. B. Spencer, said that a meeting of the proprietors would be held this week to discuss the new situation.
