BOYCOTT THREAT
GOVERNMENT SHOULD TAKE ACTION.
MASTERTON, 22nd November. A combined meeting of representatives of stock firms and producers to consider the freezing workers' dispute passed the following resolution: — "Having in view the threat to boycott New Zealand meat in England, this meeting suggests that as the matter is of national importance, the Government should cable the situation to London. It should be pointed out that the freezing workers' award does not expire until Juno, 1927j that the farmers' returns for meat and wool are much less than when the award was made; and that the economic situation of the farmer following the. depression caused by the British coal strike makes it impossible for him to carry on with any increased costs in reaching the consumers. The position is that in the event of no labour offering, the farmers and their sons are prepared to do the work of killing the stock themselves."
