At a meeting held last evenin 2 it was decided to forward the following recommendations to be included in those to be placed before the Minister of Labour by a Dominion deputation: —
That no farmer be allowed to employ share-milkers who have to depend on their wives as regular milkers; that share-milkers receive one-third on butter-fat and half on calves and pigs; that farmers supply all water for stock and the house; that farmers be compelled to bring their sheds up to dairy regulations.
