Freezing Industry Wages One problem facing the freezing industry was “the rising spiral of costs,” said Mr W. R. Mathieson, administrative manager of Thomas Borthwick and Sons, Australasia, Ltd., speaking to a farmers’ meeting in Christchurch yesterday. Over the last 11 years, the wages bill of the freezing . companies had risen 80 per cent.—“rather frightening,” Mr Mathieson said. The wages pay-out at his company’s works at Belfast last year was £515,000. “That shows the value of the freezing industry as a means of employment to a city such as Christchurch,” Mr Mathieson said.
