THE TIMBER TRADE.
Taihape, August 26. At a meeting the Rangitikei Co-operative Timber Company, a general shortage of orders was reported. It was decided to work four days a week in all mills under the Company’s jurisdiction in order to as far as possible keep all the mill workers going. The Company controls some sixty mills on the Main Trunk line and elsewhere, and had the other alternative of discharging a third of the men been decided on, over 500 would have been thrown out of employment. A number of smaller mills independent of the Company have shut down altogether.
