POSITION AT GISBORNE
(By Telegraph.—Press Association.)
GISBORNE, This Day
The position with regard to the two freezing works which have opened is entirely satisfactory. Tho volunteers who commenced work yesterday are making good progress. There were over CSO sheep killed at Kaiti works yesterday, and about 5110 at Taruheru. More butchers came forward for employment this morning, and there are now 2G slaughtermen on the board at Waipaoa and 20 at Kaiti. A fair number of those at Taruheru are learners, but six unionist butchers who accepted employment at Kaiti are determined to continue, and a number of othors on tho board there are experienced men. To-morrow more butchers will be engaged at Kaiti. It is anticipated that close on 1000 sheep will be killed at each of the works to-day, and the number will improve steadily as the volunteers become more accustomed to the work. Members of tho union are not interfering with the volunteers in any way, and it is stated many are only too anxious to got to work themselves, white there has been no definite move to break away from the union in Gisborne. up to the present. There is a good deal of dissatisfaction, and it is probable (ho lead of the men in Hawkes Bay will be followed.
