No Move To End Meat Works Strike
(Special)
AUCKLAND. This Day
Farmers in the Auckland Province who have been forced to hold cattle on pastures because the “go-slow" strike by 82 beef butchers at five freezing workk is continuing, have ari anxious eye on the weather. Fair weather as much as settlement of the strike governs the farmers’ chances of getting the cattle away before prime condition is lost. Pastures are in unusually good condition for this time of the year and the unusually good late season growth has maintained the condition of stock. A break in the weather will mean rapid deterioration and if the strike continues after the rains come farmers will stand to lose heavily.
Neither the Government nor the Department of Labour have taken any action to end the strike.
In the meantime the export trade is not threatened as the freezing stores are still well stocked with beef for Britain.
