THE SLAUGHTERMEN.
The meat strike can hardly be said any longer to exist, so far as the local works are concerned, says yesterday’s Dominion. The position was summed up yesterday as follows by,Mr W. G. Foster, of the Wellington Meat Export Company:—" Our progress is perfectly satisfactory, and fully up to our expectations. The only pressure at the moment on the farmer has reference to his rape lambs. Farmers want to get as many lambs as possible fattened on their crops of rape. Our arrangements, in my opinion, will adequately relieve the farmer in this respect. As regards older sheep, the country is lull of feed, and the farmer is iu no way anxious. As yet there are no complaints from farmers. They merely express a wish that everything possible should be done to relieve them consistent with the carrying out of the position that the companies have assumed. Except that the season will be somewhat more prolonged than of late years, the companies have no anxieties.”
