THE SLAUGHTERMEN.
I The (result of the Conference of ! freezing companies at Ohristchurch is being Awaited with absorbing interest, for upon this conference will prolvably depend the question of a strilw among the slaughtermen at the end of next month. The Farmers' Union Advocate counsels farmers to be picpared for an emergency. It says:— "The demands are so extreme, that even a considerable saving from lops this year, would not compensate for future additional costs. The farmers should at once make every arrangement possible for provisioning their stock/ while the trouble is on. Fatteners can do much to minimise a loss and /the farmer need not be aheavy loser, if be will carefully watch the trend of affairs. The strength or weakness of companies in resisting the demand's will depend very much on the necessities of the fanner. If heavy drafts of sheep are waiting, the tendency will be to give in, but- if these can ho regulated workers will be found to deal with moderate supplies, and instead of the unions dictating tJhe terms, the boo'; will be on the other foot."
