Labour Situation ® “There are indications that, the labour position for many categories of male man power is easing,” said the secretary of the Department of Industries and Commerce (Mr G. W. Clinkard) on Saturday at Auckland. Mr Clinkard is visiting Auckland for an inspection of factories and industrial areas. “Female labour, however, is still in exceptionally keen demand,” he added.

Conversely, stocks of raw materials were in some, cases in over supply, said Mr Clinkard.— (PA.) .
