TO ASSIST FARMERS
DURING SEASONAL OPERATIONS. WORK FOR TERRITORIAL ARMY. (By Telegraph—Press Association.) NAPIER, This Day. A statement made to the New Zealand Manufacturers’ Conference at Napier yesterday by Mr H. L. Bockett, Dominion Manpower Controller, to the effect that the Territorial Army was again going to assist the farming community materially in the harvestingseason and other essential summer work prompted several of the delega.es to question him closely on this point. "If these men are going to be put into the Territorial Force and then put out to work on farms, why not manpower them straight to harvesting? he was asked. Mr Bockett replied that the men would be going out in parties . under military control and not as individuals. Questioned whether the men so engaged. would be paid award rates or just Army pay and what hours they would have to work, he said that they would certainly be paid Army pay, but he could not say whether there would be any additional pay, though he thought that this was likely. He had no knowledge of what the hours of work would be.
