BALLOT METHOD OPPOSED
AUCKLAND UNEMPLOYED VOTE. “ALIENATION OF SYMPATHY.” By Telegraph—Press Association. Auckland, January 29. A meeting yesterday of executives of branches affiliated with the National Union of Unemployed and the Auckland Provincial Unemployed Association unanimously resolved to deny all allegations of the association’s participation in the taking of a ballot on strike action. It was resolved that the indiscriminate method of taking ballots did not permit of a true verdict being obtained and, further, that women were not given the right to record votes. “We therefore desire to make known our refusal to take part in the conduct of a ballot,” the meeting resolved, “believing that the outcome of such methods can result only in alienating public sympathy and inflicting upon the women and children further hardships and misery. At the same time we call upon subscribers to the unemployment fund to demand that the suffering section of humanity be adequately provided for.”
