BUTCHERS’ COMPLAINT
COMPETITION FROM FREEZING WORKS ADVERSE EFFECT OH RETAIL TRADE [Pee United Press Association.] CHRISTCHURCH, September 24. Butchers in Christchurch and throughout New Zealand are gravely concerned over the question of the growing competition by freezing works in the retail trades. In Christchurch the Master Butchers’ Association is enlisting the support of the City Council and the Farmers’ Union in its representations to the Government for the protection of the legitimate trade. Giving an example of the extent of this trade, the president of the Canterbury Master Butchers’ Association (Mr T. W. Stephenson) said to-day that last month one of the freezing works adjacent to Christchurch sold to retail customers 1,963 carcasses of mutton and lamb and 98 pigs. Other works did business on a similar scale. Lawyers, doctors, and the proprietors of some large hotels were among those who patronised the works. “ Hotels are among the worst,” Mr Stephenson said. “ They .get most of their meat from the works and then come to the butcher for prime' cuts, picking the eyes out of his stock and expecting him to dance attendance upon them.”-
