STRIKE OF WHEELERS
SYDNEY, April 15. A strike of wheelers has idled the Bunvood nit.
AUCKLAND, April 15. The acuteness of the labour problem was pointed out by Mr. Arch. Clark, chairman of the Auckland Industrial Association, yesterday. He sa,kl the prejudice against local industries had been, to a great extent, overcome, but they were faced with great difficulty in connection with the labour supply.' In the soft goods trade, his firm alone could find employment for 50 to iOO hands more. In consequence of tho shortage of labour, and much" against the firm's will, they had.to import g..oJs which they could net manufacture here to greater advantage, and possibly sell locally with greater profit to themselves but they were not able to do so, because they could not get the labour to manufacture the goods the public were crying but for. It was a very serious mutter, and a question which the Association should take up.
