BURNSIDE SLAUGHTERMEN
WORK ACTIVELY RESUMED IN MEANTIME The local manager of the New Zealand Rrefrigorating Company’s Burn side works posted a notice on Tuesday afternoon to the effect that the men must revert to the normal rate of killing or they would be paid off. As the men continued to go slow yesterday morning they were notified that they would bo paid off at 3 p.m. Subsequently it was decided that the men would resume normal killing to-aoy_, and the matter in dispute be referred to a disputes committee, which will sit in Dunedin to-night. Messrs J. PNoonan (local. manager for the New Zealand Refrigerating Company), 0. G Wilkin (secretary South Island Freezing Companies’ Association), and James Barber (manager at Islington for the Now Zealand Refrigerating Company) will represent the employers. It is said that each man has lost about £4 in wages, and buyers and farmers have been put to a great deal of inconvenience, besides which the sales business has been prejudiced, since it would be unwise to buy for killing sheep and lambs that might or might not be killed.
