SCRUB PULLING WORK,
A WAIPUKURAU MOTION,
WAIPUKURAU, This Day. A very representative meeting of the Waipukurau Unemployment and Employed Association, at which over 60 were pivs.nt, passed the following resolution unanimously: — “That this meeting refuse as a body to recommend members to accept the work offered by the Unemployment Board in scrub-pulling at Aohanga Station, and also strongly resent the threat accompanying the notice, which, if carried out, is tantamount to taking necessary sustenance from respectable men, their wives and children.”
Aohanga is in the Akitio coastal area, about 100 miles distant from Waipukurau, via Pahiatua. A further resolution passed was: “That the Provincial Council of the unemployed workers ’ movement be notified that as the action is taken without our consent, we consider we no longer have any connection with
them.” The Provincial Council referred to had previously been affiliated to the National Council of Unemployed Workers.— (P.A.)
