SWEETS AND MEAT
WHICH MOST ESSENTIAL?
"What is most essential— tinned meat or barley sugar and chocolate?" asked Mr. J. O. Liddell, chairman of the Industrial Manpower Committee, this morning when hearing an appeal bv Heards, Limited, against the direction of a girl employee to employment as a factory worker at the Westfield Freezing Company, Ltd. On behalf of the appellant company the manager, Mr. J. W. Watson, said that while the industry had not been declared essential it was supplying barley sugar and chocolate to the armed forces. These were also urgently needed for hospitals and sick persons. The firm's factory formerly employed 200 girls, but had now been reduced to a staff of 58. The committee reserved its decision.
