SHORTAGE OF WOOL.
SHEEPOWNERS’ CRITICISM. (P.A.) HAMILTON, July 7. “Never previously in our existence have we been so near the borderline os at present,” said Colonel N. P. Adams in his report to the annual meeting of the Auckland branch of the New'Zealand Shcepowners’ Federation, “and if we are to come through we must individually and collectively put every ounce cf our energy into our work. Whatever our individual opinions are, we, as an organisation, are behind the Government. I wish this could be said of other individuals and organisations.
“There is a definite shortage of manufactured wool in New Zealand today,”. Cojonel Adams continued, “and it is said' there are not- sufficient skilled workers. We are told that an •emergency council is taking up the matter, but wo have to go on a scouting expedition to ascertain who those are in control, where they are, and what they are doing.” Colonel Adams said mills were being worked 24 hours a day in England, and lie could not see why it should not be done in New Zealand, provided there was the work to be done.
