CLOSING ON MONDAY
FOR ALL-DAY MEETING. WELLINGTON. Sept. 5. When asked if it was the intention of the New Zealand Master Butchers' Association, as reported in Wellington yesterday, that all retail butchers' shops throughout the Dominion should close from September 10, if increased retail prices for meat were not granted, the secretary of the Wellington Employers' Association (Mr W. J. Mountjoy) said 'last night that he emphatically denied that any instruction or request had been given that butchers should close their shops indefinitely from Monday next. "All that has been suggested by the New Zealand Master Butchers' Association," said Mr Mountjoy, "is that butchers should close their shops on Monday, September 10, only, for the purpose of holding a daytime meeting to consider the following:— (1) The shortage of stock; (2) high prices ruling for stock; (3) wholesale and retail meat prices; and (4) whether or not frozen meat should be made available for retail sale to the general public." ■ ■>.
