POVERTY BAY WORKS
SLAUGHTERING STANDARD. ' GISBORNE, 4th February. The Tokomartt Freezing Works resumed' work at 8 o'clock this morning, with free labour on the boards, including three Natives. By noon the Natives had been increased to eleven. The management is quite satisfied, and expects to hay© a full board in the course of a day or two. There has been no trouble with the strikers. The new men are killing at the rate of from seven to ten sheep per hour,' which is considered satisfactory, i At the Kaiti works, no less than twenty-one men were working on* the boards this afternoon^ including learners, and more' are expected, to-morrow. It is stated that although a fair number of the sheep slaughtered on Monday were rejected for freezing, the number to-day was very small, and that the- slaughtering was quite up to the standard of recent days, with the old slaughtermen. The company expects to be turning! out its usual output in about a fortnight.
