A large gathering of sawmillcrs met lat Taihapc recently to discuss the dis- I location of the railway services and the stoppage of the timber traffic. It was stated that millers are carrying on under most adverse circumstances, in the hope of some immediate prospect of relief. If there is no definite prospect of this within the next week or two they will be compelled to give notice lo all employees of their intention to close down, as they cannot go on stacking up timber indefinitely. And lastly, at a meeting of the Auckland Provincial Farmers' Union the president said that he had not met a single thinking man who could reasonably justify the action taken by the Government. Never in the course of, 30 years' experience had he heard such an absolutely universal expression of disgust Avith the Government of to-day, £!a Lie was forced to the conclusion that if the Government had deliberately set out to embarrass the country it could not have gone a better way about it. Mr. Herries, the Ml.-ister of Railways, stated that the Government had not brought the restrictions into operation with a view to discrediting Labor. That "would be suicidal." Well, if he had anyother object, he has hidden it well. He blames everything except the real cause, which is the culpable neglect of his Department to foresee the position and remedy it whilst it had the opportunity.

About the computer-generated text

Optical Character Recognition (OCR) is a process for automatically extracting text from scanned pages. OCR enables searching of large quantities of full-text data, but it is not 100% accurate. The level of accuracy depends on the print quality of the original newspaper and its condition at the time of microfilming. Newspapers with poor quality paper, small print, mixed fonts, multiple column layouts or damaged pages may have poor OCR accuracy.

The page where this item appears has an estimated OCR accuracy of 99.08%.
