FLAXMILL WORKERS.
DEPUTATION TO MR MASSEY. WELLINGTON, August 5. A deputation waited on the Prime Minister to-day regarding the recently-gazetted regulations dealing with accommodation fur workers at flaxmills. Mr Veitch, M.P., who introduced the deputation, said that workers were not satisfied with the present condition of affairs. Mr Massey said the regulations might not ho perfect, but they were a tremendous advance on anything that was existence before. The regulations were to be administered, and if the people concerned did not comply with them they would have to put up with the consequences. He also intended to arrange for a special inspector, who would have nothing else to do but look after flaxmill districts in Manawatu, and he (Mr Massey) would get a special report once a month as to how things were going.
