CONCERNING THE WOOL CLIP PROPOSALS

'A CANTERBURY SUGGESTION. • By Telegraph—Prus Assnciition. Christchurch, November 14. Tho secretary of tho. Canterbury Tanneries and IPellmongers' Union has written as follows to tho Minister of Agriculture :—"I am directed by tho Canterbury Tanners and ITcllmongers' Union to say that in tho proposal to commandeer tho wool clip of New Zealand a serious situation is likely to arise for a considerable onimber • of workers in tho wool-sorting and scouring industry in Canterbury. At least 500 men aro engaged in tXis industry, a 1 substantial proportion, of whom are permanently employed either at haudling wool'or skins (apart from tboso employed at. freezing works). The present situation in England demands that every relief should bo given in the way of providing articles as nearly finished as possible, and seeing that the ranks of tho workers aro being continually depicted by enlistments, I would respectfully suggest that all tho .'preliminary operations such as sorting, scouring, etc., should bo done before shipment. This would have the effect of considerably assisting England in her labour shoVtage, besides preventing a dislocation to tho local trade and inconvenience To the workers ■ employed therein." A. J. Parton, of Carterton, report? that since July last ho has delivered 60 of his famous Victor Cheese Vats.
