STATE SAWMILLS
MAMAKU WORKS CLOSED. PROTEST FROM TABOUR MEMBERS. (Per United Pre® Association.) Auckland, January 19. The following protest against the closing down of the State sawmills at Mamaku has been sent to the Minister by the Auckland Labour members of Parliament: —In view of the serious unemployment problem already existing and the fact that the State mill must have a steadying effect on timber prices as well as doing its share towards the supply of the market which is now taking some of its supplies from American sources, we desire to record our protest, against the handing over of the New Zealand market to timber companies overseas while our own men are seeking employment. A conservative estimate of the unemployed in Auckland at present is about 1000 and we trust the Government will move in this matter immediately.
