EFFORT BY WORKERS
LONGER HOURS POSSIBLE (By Telegraph.—Special to Times) ROTORUA, Friday The possibility that workers mighi be called upon to make greater sacrifices in the national war effort than those imposed by the Budget, was suggested by Mr M. Moohan, national secretary of the New Zealand Labour Party, when addressing a meeting of the Rotorua branch of the party. In addition to taxation measures there were other efforts that might be demanded of the workers, Mr Moohan stated, in suggesting that the 40-hour week might have to be suspended in certain industries. The measures that the Government might have to introduce to meet the war emergency were likely to be unpopular, even with party members.
