STRIKE IN THE SOUTH.
FREEZING INDUSTRY TROUBLE. CALL FOR FREE LABOR. By Telegraph.—Press’ Association. Christchurch, June 21.

They have appealed to all sheepowners who are in a position to do so to come to the assistance of the companies by volunteering for work at the factories or by assisting to procure the services of other men. In a general statement issued to-day by representatives of the employers it is said: “Present appearances are to the effect that there is plenty of labor offering. The response to our advertisement has been much more satisfactory than expected, and there is no doubt that the remaining stock in Canterbury can now be handled.” Tn a general statement issued to-day by representatives of the employers it is said: “Present appearances are to the effect that there is plenty of labor offering.
