FREEZING INDUSTRY
Labour Shortage A Problem The freezing season will open in some parts of the North Island next week. A recent survey made by the National Service Department of the manpower required for this work indicates that there is likely to be a shortage of over 2000 men. The War Cabinet has approved of the release of experienced men from the Army, and steps are being taken by the National Service Department to arrange for them to commence work as soon as required. However, it is stated that the releases from the Army will by no means meet the expected shortage, and other steps will be necessary to ensure that sufficient freezing hands are available.
It is expected that a large number of university students will be available for engagement in freezing works during December, January and February, and this should alleviate the position. It has become necessary to appeal to all men who have had experience in freezing works to return to that, employment during this season, as it is regarded as imperative that labour requirements be fulfilled.
