PREFERENCE TO UNIONISTS
The wisdom of preference is so plain, the need for it so'palpable, that every sincere advocate of compulsory arbitration admits the necessity for compulsory preference.. The employers have succeeded hitherto in preventing Parliament from being logical in tLo matter, but no student of the system doubts that its efficiency is dependent upon the organisation of the workers, and until we have unionism universal .among the workers there must be weakness in the system. We hope that Mr Justice Sim’s comment is an ’indication that the preference clause is to be in--cluded in every award. The Arbitration Court must see, of course, that there are no undue restrictions placed upon members of unions, and that admission to unions is -granted., under reasonable conditions, but so long as these preference' to unionists precautions are taken will be beneficial to both employ-, ers and.workers. —“Wanganui Herald.”
