BUTCHERS' ALARM
DOMINION MEETING
An urgent meeting in Wellington of the executive of the New Zealand Master Butchers' Association will probably be called early next week after meetings throughout the Dominion yesterday in which butchers' organisations discussed the high prices they are at present required to pay for stock compared with fixed retail prices for the meat they purvey. The secretary of the association (Mr. W. J. Mount joy) said today that the meeting of the executive would be called as soon as the decisions of the provincial associations had been received and considered.
The Wellington Master Butchers' Association, comprising butchers from the city, Hutt Valley, and surroundings districts, held an all-day meeting on the same subject yesterday, which was largely attended.- Several resolutions were passed, but Mr. Mount joy, who is also secretary of the Wellington association, declined today to make them public meantime. He said, however, that nothing so drastic as" the North Auckland decision to open shops but sell no meat until a settlement had been reached, had been decided upon at the Wellington meeting.
