MINISTERS HINT.
DUNEDIN, .July 4 1. ■ Owing to tho railway restrictions the* killers and assistants at tho Refrigerating Company's works at Burnside were paid off last night. But for the railway stoppage the slaughtering would" have gone on till the end of July. In reply to the president of the Dunedin Chamber of Commerce, the Minister of Railways said that he regretted he could not extend the restrictions in order to allow the carriage of rabbitskins consigned by rabbiters. The proposed time-table was the maximum that could be undertaken, and if the coal position did not improve, it was not certain that even the present time-table could be maintained 1
