ATTACK BY WORKERS

PRIME MINISTER’S VIEW GROUP OF IRRESPONSIBLES I , <By Telegraph.—Press Association) WELLINGTON. Thursday i “I refuse to believe that the resolution in' question represents the ! views of the railway workers conj cerned,” stated the Prime Minister, ; the Rt. Hon. P. Fraser, referring to | the reported resolution of the OtaI huhu branch of the Amalgamated i Society of Railway Servants de- | manding sweeping changes in the Government’s policy. “It appears,” Mr Fraser added, “to be simply an attempt by a small group of irresponsibles, or worse, to drive a wedge in the Labour movement, as well as to divide the country’s united war effort, and as such is not entitled to serious consideration. ‘The Labour Government, representing hundreds of thousands of voters, is closer in touch with the mass of working people than a small group concerned mainly with raising difficulties during the war period and endeavouring by distortion and misrepresentation to corrupt the public mind and delude unthinking people, most of whom are anxious to serve their country to the fullest extent.”
