FREE LABOUR.
THE MEAT WORKS DISPUTE. FARMERS ENROL MEN. (By Telegraph.—Press Assoeiatlon.) CHRISTCHURCH, Friday. The seventh day of the "go-slow" policy adopted by the freezing workers ended in the employers deciding to invite applications from non-union labour. A meeting was held to-day between representatives of the various farmers' organisations and of the Canterburyfreezing companies. As a result the farmers' organisations have undertaken to enrol men in the event of any stoppage occurring at the works. It is anticipated that notices will be posted at the works to-morrow cancelling the previous notices reducing the output per man to four per hour and ordering a resumption of the normal killing rate. It is stated that a union delegate left to-day for the purpose of conferring with the men employed at the various works in the district affected.
