GISBORNE, Feb, 17. 'Owing to the adoption of the "goslow" policy by the butchers in its employ, the Poverty Bay Farmers' Meat Company has closed • its Waipawa I Freezing Works and paid off a large ! number of its hands. A director of j the company stated to a reporter that the mutton output had decreased from 3200 carcasea on Monday to 900, on Tuesday, and the decrease would be maintained, since it was stated that the "go-slow" policy was. adopted by the mutton1 butchers with a view to compelling the company to pay a bonus,, of 5s per 100 sheep.
