SUSPENSION URGED
40-HOUR WEEK IN WAR ASHBURTON FARMERS (Pur Press Association.) ASHBURTON, this clay. The mid-Canterbury farmers’ conference passed a resolution refuting the suggestion that fanners desire to obtain higher prices from Britain for produce, but pointing out that this attitude is only possible if other sections are prepared to accept a similar attitude and work harder for a smaller net return. It was also resolved to urge the Government to suspend the 40-hour week to enable full production for the war effort. Mr. T. V. Wilkinson was elected president.
