SWEATED INDUSTRY
PRODUCTION OF MILK IN SOUTH ISLAND REPROACH TO CHRISTCHURCH & DUNEDIN. PROTEST BY FARMERS’ UNION SECRETARY. (Bv Telegraph—Press Association.) ’ CHRISTCHURCH, This Day. “It should be time enough to talk about standards for herds, dairies containers and handling methods, and about the issuing of certificates, after the public of Christchurch have tried paying milk producers a decent price for their product,” said Mr A. P. O’Shea, Dominion Secretary of the Fanners’ Union, discussing proposals for a closer inspection of milk in the city. “The prices paid to town suppliers in Christchurch and Dunedin,” he said, “are disgraceful, and when one considers that the cost of producing milk is higher here than in the North, the unfairness becomes evident. At present prices, milk production for Christchurch and for Dunedin is a sweated industry and is a reproach to the people of these cities. They should give the producer a fair return first and then begin to talk about the conditions under which milk is produced.”
