TRADES COUNCIL’S ATTITUDE
SUPPORT FROM RUBBER WORKERS P.A. CHRISTCHURCH, Feb. 23. The employees at two rubber factories at Woolston, at stop-work meetings this afternoon, pledged support to the Canterbury Trades Council in its attitude towards the intention of the Government to prosecute the spokesmen of the Carpenters’ Union. The meetings, which were held at the Marathon and Empire factories, were organised and addressed by the president of the Rubber Workers’ Union, Mr T. Auld, and job delegates. Each meeting lasted about 15 minutes and at each a resolution was carried unanimously—“ That this stop-work meeting of rubber workers strongly condemns the Prime Minister, Mr Fraser, and the Minister of Labour, Mr McLagan, for using the threat of prosecution against the spoksmen of the Carpenters’ Union. We pledge ourselves to carry out any instruction of the Canterbury Trades Council to meet the event of any such prosecution taking place.”
