EMPLOYERS' FEDERATION.
INDUSTRY BEING KILLED. ' By Association. Wellington, Oct. 24. Dealing with after-the-war problems the annual report of the New Zealand Employers' Federation states that, as far aa New Zealand is concerned, it is certain that, unless by some meaiis it si found possible to increase the efficiencv of the workers of the Dominion, it will be found quite impossible to maintain any position as a manufacturing country. It is quite evident that the present system of increasing wages, shortening ,hi- us and placing further restrictions upon trades and industries must cease, if their expansion, or even their continuancee, in many cases, is to be secured: Just what should be done is difficult to say. This might well be made the principal subject of discussion at the annual meeting. It is inevitable that, notwithstanding the favorahle conditions for work in New Zealand, difficult problems regarding the industrian situation will have to be dealt with by the federation in the near future
