“IN DESPERATE STATE”
N.Z. TIMBER INDUSTRY (Special to THE SUN.) WELLINGTON, Saturday. “The position of the timber trad' lias me absolutely beaten, and thong the mills have written asking •]??” gestions, I can do nothing,” said ■'* . A. Seed, secretary of the New Zeatt* Sawmillers’ Federation, to-day, w* announcing the result of the visit has just paid to the West Coast »amills. An inventory of orders had he taken for the month of May, ana ' had been found that the total ora received represented approximately * per cent, of what the mills had tur. out a few years ago. __.ii, Spread over the whole of the to on the coast, these orders represeii the equivalent of one working day P®* week per mill. The West Coast holds about or.e-m of the total capital and labour o Dominion’s timber industry, ana Seed says that is is inevitable more mills must close. The j. is thus being blotted out, and the P° tion is absolutely desperate.
