KILLING RESTRICTED IN NORTH ISLAND
SHORTAGE OF SHIPS REPORTED
AUCKLAND, March 21. Because an insufficient number of ships is available in New Zealand to carry cargoes away, the killing of meat for export at many North Island works has been greatly curtailed. The storage space of most of these works is practically filled up, and until the congestion is relieved by the loading out of stocks, companies will be forced to ration killing services among farmers and stock buyers. The Westfield Freezing Company has been obliged to pay off men engaged on one of its mutton killing rings involving, together with employees in other departments whose activities are curtailed, between 100 and 130 workers.
