RELIEF WORKERS
POSITION AT NAPIER. MEN RETURN TO WORK. NAPIER, Wednesday. The case of Napier relief workers who refused to work side by side with a man who had remained at his job while the majority of the unemployed were on strike was brought to the notice of the Mayor, Air C. O. Alorse, to-day, when a deputation waited on him in his capacity as chairman of the Hawke’s Bay Hospital Board.
“I am prepared to go back, but will not work with that man,” said one relief worker. Air Alorse: Then it is no use your going up there. Your altitude is tantamount to refusing work and if you people are going to take up that attitude, I cannot help youThe man replied that he would be prepared to work if the majority agreed. Air Morse: That is not my business. The foreman has instructions not lo go round and find out what the men want. Wc are not going to be dictated to like that. It is absurd that you should refuse to go to work with a man because 'lie thought it wiser to continue working. After further discussion It was agreed to return to work unconditionally.
