FREEZING COSTS.
KILLING THE INDUSTRY. (By Telegraph.--Press Association.) PALMERSTON NORTH, Thursday. A meeting , of Farmers' Union delegates was held to-day to discuss a programme for national development. It was resolved: "That this executive is of opinion that the conditions regarding the cost of labour and other eharpes relating to the killing and freezing of fat stock are at present such as must have the effect practically of killing the industry, and therefore any offer to Labour unions such as would be likely to satisfy them is impossible; that the onus of fixing the rate of wages should be thrown on the Arbitration Court, and that a farmers' representative be given the right to give evidence when any dispute affecting them is heard."
