HOUSING SCHEME
UNIONISTS’ ATTITUDE [ Per Press Association | AUCKLAND, Nov. 23. Dissatisfaction with details of the Government's housing scheme is expressed in an article in the first issue of “The Borer,” the official publication of the Amalgamated Society of the Carpenters' and Joiners Union, Auckland. The article favours the scheme being carried out by members of the building trades unions under Government supervision, and outlines recommendations submitted to Mr. Lee by the recent general meeting of the Auckland building trades unions, that all materials be supplied directly by the Government, the work to be done by day labour, all of the men to be supplied from the respective unions concerned, a joint supervisory committee of Government and union representatives to be formed and the i foremen to be elected democratically by the men on each individual job; I that the workshops be run on exactly | the same conditions as applied to actual buildings.
