TIMBER INDUSTRY
further curtailment of
OUTPUT
(By Telegraph—Per Press Association.
HAMILTON, June 19
The dumping of foreign timber on the New Zealand market, is not without serious effects on industry in the Dominion. At a meeting of forty sawmillers at Hamilton yesterday, it was considered necessary to consider a further curtailment of the output either by shortening hands or by a further reduction of working hours per week. It was shown that ...mills were now working at fifty per cent of their capacity and a large number had shut down.
The hollowing resolution was passed that owing to the extraordinary falling off in the demand for timber, which amounted approximately to 2,000,000 feet per month, equal to a third of the demand over the past six months, the company had decided to recommend its members to further curtail their output, either by shortening hands or by a further reduction of the working hours per week.
