FREEZING WORKS DISPUTE
DEADLOCK CONTINUES SHORTAGE OF BUTCHERS [Special io the * Stae.'J AUCKLAND, February 16. A further conference was held yesterday between representatives of both parties concerned in the Westfield Freezing Works dispute, but it did not alter the position, and a deadlock continues. The management of the works renewed the offer to re-engage the slaughtermen provided they resumed work under normal conditions. At a late hour lasi evening no definite answer had beep given, and unless a favorable reply is received to-day the management intends to make other arrangements to carry on. In view of the Westfield trouble it is extremely improbable that Southdown (where there has been a slackening off through a shortage of stock) or any other works would attempt to handle the stock originally destined for the affected works.
According to the chairman of directors of a local farmers’ organisation, there has been a remarkable shortage of butchers this year. So acute has been the position that his company had had to abandon the usual killing of mutton at one of its woriks, although had butchers been available 3,000 sheep a day more could have been handled. The cause, he believed, lay partly in the restriction on the number of learners.
