One Day Stoppage Elsewhere In N.Z.
(P.A.) WELLINGTON, This Day. When asked if it was the intention of the New Zealand Master Butchers’ Association that all retail butchers’ shops throughout the Dominion should close from September 10 if increased retail prices for meat were not granted, the secretary for the Wellington Employers’ Association (Mr W. «). Mountjoy) said he emphatically denied that any instruction, or request had been given that butchers should close their ! shops indefinitely from Monday next.
All that had been suggested by the New Zealand Master Butchers' Association, said Mr Mountjoy, was that butchers should close their shops on Monday, September 10, only for the purpose of holding a daytime meeting to consider the following:— (D Shortage of stock. (2) High prices ruling for stock. (3) Wholesale and retail meat prices. (4) Whether or not frozen meat should be made available for retail sale to the general public.
