LITIGATION AT HUNTLY.
MEDICAL AND ACCIDENT FUND
(Per Press Association.)
AUCKLAND, last nig..t. Litigation arising out of the recent readjustment of industrial matters at Huntly is threatened. Prominent members of the old Federation Union now out of existence administered the affairs of the Waikato Medical and Accident Society, the membership of which is confined wholly to the employees of the Tau|iirl Coal ]\Enes, Limited. A number of the society's office-bearers have been refused membership of tlie new Arbitration Union, and, m consequence, are not employees of the Taupiri mines. The, new Arbitration Union claims that the old society has no legal standing, and members of the Arbitration Union have ' formed a new medical society, and have demanded from the bid society possession of the books and moneys. The old society, acting on legal advice^ refuses possession, and tne new society, at a meeting last night, decided to get legal advice as to its position, and resolved to ask the mine manager to place all moneys coming to the society m the bank m the name of the new trustees, and to ask the postmaster tb prohibit withdrawals from the old account.
