SKILLED LABOR.

REQUEST FOR IMPORTATION. BY TELEGRAPH—PRESS ASSOCIATION. WELLINGTON, May 14. ' The Minister of Labor, the Hon. G. Laurenson, in reply to a communication from the Wellington Industrial Association, urging the Government to bring skilled labor from Home to relieve the existing shortages, states that after careful consideration the Cabinet has decided that it canpot see its way to do anything in this direction. The Association, at its meeting to-night, considered the Minister's reply unsatisfactory, and resolved to approach other associations throughout the dominion, with a view of taking joint action.
