AUSTRALIAN WORKERS
UNDER THE KAN. At a meeting of the Executive Committee of the South Canterbury Farmers' Union, Mr Patterson proposed that tho executive should pass a motion supporting the Slaughtermen's Union in refusing to work with Australian slaughtermon in New Zealand. It was absolutely unfair that Australians should refuse to take their part in the war and then come over to New Zealand and take the place of New Zealandcrs at the war. They might as well import a horde of Indian coolies or Chinamen. (Hear, hoar.) Mr MeCort said that not only should Australians be prevented from coming over here, but those who were already here should be deported. Mr Hart seconded Mr Patterson's motion, of which lie heartily approved, and it was carried unanimously.
