REVOCATION URGED
EXTENSION OF HOURS POSITION IN SAWMILLS (Per Press Association.) AUCKLAND, this day. A request that an order made by the Hours Emergency Committee extending the hours in West Coast sawmills and 12 mills in the North Island be revoked has been made to the Labour" Minister, the Hon. P. C. Webb, by the secretary of the New Zealand Timber Workers’ Union, Mr. F. Craig. Mr. Craig alleged that a large majority of the mills which had been granted extended hours had ceased working the longer period about three weeks after the order was made, and tint to-day 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 evidence of a shortage of such timber had been exaggerated.
