FREEZING WORKERS DECISION AT WANGANUI "STRAIN OF EXTRA HOUR" [BY TELEGRAPH TRESS ASSOCIATION] WANGANUI, Monday Slaughtermen employed at the New Zealand Refrigerating Company's works at Imlay, at a mass meeting to-day rescinded their previous decision to work an extra hour daily. The company asked last week that men start work an hour earlier to cope with the large number of fat lambs being sent to the Imlay works. This was agreed to on Saturday, and again to-day. A ballot was taken in various departments last week, resulting in favour of working the extra hour. The slaughtermen asked that the matter be referred back to a mass meeting ol employees, this being held to-day. The slaughtermen contended that many of the men could not stand the strain of the extra hour, which would mean working nine hours a day.
