PRICE OF BUTTER.
RAILWAYMAN'S VIGOROUS . PROTEST.
LABOUR ACTION URGED.
[Per Press Association.] WELLINGTON, October 8. The following resolution was carried at a meeting of railwaymen, held at the Petono Workshops to-day“ That this meeting vigorously protests against tho further increase in the price of butter and other' staple foods, which only means that a corresponding increase in wages is warranted to meet tho same. We ask tho support of all railwaymen and the outside public throughout New Zealand to endorse a proposal declaring fill butter consigned for export black until a corresponding increase in w'ages to all essential workers is granted from the date of the rise. Further, we seek the support of all transport workers to protect tho general wellbeing of all innocent children and adults against strong elements of profiteering.”
