ALLEGATIONS AGAINST SLAUGHTERMEN.
CRRISTCHURCH, Last Night.
In a letter from London to tbe Christchurcn Star, Mr Gilbert Anderson, formerly manager for the Chrißtraurch Meat Company, declared that owing to careless slaughtering methods, and the faulty dressing of meat. New Zealand was now losing about £280,000 a year. Slaughtermen declaie that the deterioration is not due to inefficient slaughtering .but to careless banrtiing, particularly after the meat has been frozen. Mr Anderson's letter, which is to be considered by the Trades and Labour Council on Saturday i igh% contained a general charge that those who worked under the awards were doing as little work as passible to. earn the award ratee, and that the industry in New Zealand was suffering because the Unionists failed to recognise that higher wages could only be justified by increased efficiency of labour.
