TIMBER MILL HOURS
REVOCATION OF ORDER
SOUGHT
(P.A.) AUCKLAND, August 16,
A request that the order made by the hours emergency committee extending the hours of West Coast sawmills, and twelve mills in the North Islana, be revoked has been made to the Minister of Labour by the secretary of the New Zealand Timber Workers' Union, Mr. P. Craig.
Mr. Craig alleged that a large majority of the mills which have been granted extended hours ceased working the longer period about three weeks after the order was made, and that today only one mill in the Dominion was complying with the order. The extension, he said, was granted so that the supply of butter-box timber might be increased, but it now seemed that the shortage of such timber had been exaggerated. '
