“MEN WERE SNUBBED”
SAYS AUCKLAND SECRETARY. Per Press Association. AUCKLAND, November 27. Mr ‘W. E. Sill, secretary of the Auckland branch Freezing Works Employees’ Union, in a statement of the oase for the men, stresses the point that all freezing works employees, not slaughtermen only, are concerned in the local dispute, which he says is not a strike, and was due to the refusal of the employers to discuss the conditions of the industry. They did not present any demands, but merely asked for a friendly oonferenoe, and all they got was a snub. Last season the men employed at Southrown earned on an average 67s a week each. For about half of the short freezing season they were idle.
