HALF-DAY A MONTH
SAWMILL HANDS OFFER
(By Telegraph—Press Association.)
TAUMARUNUI, June 10
The national president of the Dominion Timber Workers' Union, Mr. W. Seator, stated that he had received a request from men employed by a Rotprua sawmill to work half a day a month at ordinary rates of pay, the wages so earned for the half-day to be paid to some patriotic fund and to a fund to provide comforts for the military forces. The employers, Tunnicliffe and Co., Rotorua and Pongakawa, agreed to subsidise the amount by making a donation of £10 for each half-day worked for each of the two mills.
Similar offers were received from men in the King Country during the weekend.
