FREE LABOUR AT NAPIER
(B? TELEQBAPfl — PRESS ASSOCIATION.) NAPIER, 4th February. ' As had been arranged, slaughtering at the North British Freezing Company's works was resumed to-day by the aid of free labour. There was practically no demonstration on the part of the displaced strikers, who took the ' matter very quietly, and, indeed, it is said that many of the single men are preparing to leave the district to seek pastures new. No admittance to the works could be gaihed, but a reporter/ Was informed by the managing director to-night that more applications for Work had been received than the company could grant, and that no difficulty was anticipated in being n,ble to continue operations on a satisfactory basis. A full staff was not" employed to-day on account of the fact that the overseer had to instruct & number of .the. men, but what work was done was done very well, although perhaps not sO quickly as by more experieneea butchers.
