FREEZING SEASON ENDED
INCREASED KILLINGS REPORTED NO MAJOR HOLD-UPS AT WORKS The export meat killing season in Canterbury closed yesterday, the last works to cease operations being in North Canterbury. Killing at Fairfield ended on June 14, and at Pareora and Smithfield last Friday. Supplies of stock fell away rapidly in the last few weeks of the season; but the anticipation is that the total Killings will be an increase on those for 1944-45. Cattle killings have shown an increase in all parts of the province, the increased use of lime as a topdressing being considered an important factor in improved carrying capacity. The season was industrially a quiet one, and no major hold-ups of killing occurred in any of the works. There was little disruption and no serious dispute, indicating improved industrial relations. The mam stoppage was concerned with transport of workers to a South Canterbury works. With labour in short supply generally few freezing works employees are expected to ask for assistance of the National Employment Service in finding work in the off season.
