SOLDIER FARMERS
COMPULSORY UNIONISM FAVOURED By Telegraph—Press Assoclatlop WELLINGTON, May 2. Many farmer Anzacs travelled on the Maunganui, which returned to Wellington from Sydney this morning, to represent the New Zealand Returned Soldiers’ Association in the Anzac parade in Sydney, and both on the way over to Australia, and on the return journey, they discussed a number of matters concerning farmers and the Farmers’ Union. A meeting of farmer returned soldiers was held aboard the Maunganui last night, over which Mr A. H. Blackmore, a member of the Auckland Executive of the New Zealand Farmers’ Union, presided. A resolution was passed to the effect “That this representative meeting of returned soldier farmers avdocate, in our own districts, compulsory unionism for faimers.” There was only one dissentient vote against the resolution.
