CONFERENCE PENDING
FREEZING WORKS EMPLOYEES, CHAIN SYSTEM ACCEPTED. (Special to the “Guaidian.”) CHRISTCHURCH, This Day. it is practically certain that the Minister for Labour (the Hon. IT. T. Armstrong) will call a conference of all sections of the freezing works industry in the Dominion at an early date to consider questions involved iu the relationship of the freezing companies to the unions of workers m the industry. This was stated last evening by Mr L. Glover (president of tbe New Zealand Alliance of Labour), when addressing a meeting of the Canterbury Freezing Work and Related Trades Union. The membership of the newlv-formed Freezing Works Federation would be over 9000, said Mr Glover. Mr Glover made an important statement about the retention of the chain system of killing when saying that after wages had been adjusted the immediate job of the union would be to formulate regulations for a 40-liour working week and regulations governing the operation of the chain system. It was generally accepted, he said, that the chain system was “here to stay,” and is was necessary to have regulations covering the way the system was worked.
