WELL DRYING UP?

PUBLIC WORKS PAY-ROLL REQUEST BY GOVERNMENT 8000 MEN FOR PRIVATE INDUSTRY I Per Pres. Association. ] CHRISTCHURCH, Feb. 23. A proposal that 8000 men should lie taken from Public Works and placed into industry in six weeks has been made by the Government to the New Zealand Manufacturers’ Federation. This was revealed by the president, Mr. H. B. Duckworth, in speaking at a meeting of the Conterbury Association. Mr. Duckworth said that 30,000 men were on the Government’s pay-roll on public works and on No. 13 scheme. It was his opinion that the well from which these men were being paid was drying up. The federation had conferred with the Government on three occasions and had been asked to put 8000 men into industry in six weeks. The Federation had been asked how many men could be employed and under what conditions the men could be absorbed. At times it appeared that the Government was asking manufacturers to get the country out of its difficulties. The problem was so big that the association should convene a special meeting to deal with UNION NOT ADVISED COMMENT BY SECRETARY I Per Press Association.) WELLINGTON, Feb. 23. Mr. Cook, secretary of the New Zealand Workers’ Union, of which the employees of the Public Works Depatrment are members, said to-daj that he could give no information about the proposal to draft men from Public Works Department jobs to industries in which members of the New Zealand Manufacturers’ Federation are interested. The union has not. been informed of such a proposal. He said he believed a few artisans remained on the department's works, most having returned to their industries, the remaining skilled men being with trades like tunnelling. wool'.—Marshall Bros., 1: J.
