CARPENTERS’ SOCIETY.
(To the Editor.) Sir.—l was surprised to read in your issue of this morning a letter from Mr John Somervell re Carpenter’s Society. In the first place he said at the interview of Master Builders with the Hon. Jas. Carroll that the Arbitration Court fines went to swell the funds of our union. In my reply to that I gave an emphatic denial -and now he comes along and accuses me of what virtually amounts to a charge of getting one pound by fraud or false, pretences from Air J. Collev. I never wrote to Mr Colley in my life for money or anythin w else or received money from him, and "after- mv previous letter of facts I think it would have become him better to have taken a back scat, hut no, fie comes along with some more of his misstatements in the'public press and if an absolute public apology is not forthcoming I will take the matter further.—l ‘‘ m ’ CtC ’’ WILSON DUNCAN. Sec. Gisborne Branch Amalgamated Society Carpenters and Joiners. Gisborne, May 17th, 09.
