MEAT PRESERVING
Extension Of Operations Proposed DEPENDENT ON LABOUR (By -Telegraph—Press Association.) AUCKLAND, March 28. With the object of making the fullest economic use of part at least of the meat which cannot be exported under the recent restrictions, proposals are in hand for the extension of meatpreserving operations at two canneries in the Westfield District. Steps have already been taken by one establishment to obtain the necessary additional labour to start a night shift, and the other is contemplating similar action. Both plants are normally engaged on a 44-hour week, and provided the extra labour can be obtained a night shift working somewhat similar hours will be employed. Representatives of the establishments stated that the extension of operations would depend largely on the essential labour being available. A shortage of labour in other departments had been experienced this season. ' For some time past both canneries have been working lit full capacity on the ordinary 44-hour week and have handled certain cuts of meat from other freezing works in the district.
