TIMBER INDUSTRY
FUTURE VIEWED WITH ALARM OUTPUT CURTAILED. Per Press Association. HAMILTON, June 25. The future position of tlie timber industry was viewed with alarm by a large and representative meeting of sawmillers from all districts on the Main TVunk and Rotorua lines, held at Hamilton yesterday. It was stated that stocks were accumulating at the mills to such an extent that a curtailment of .the output was imperative. In view of the large amount of unemployment, the mills were reluctant to shorten hands, but a majority of the mills would have to work shorter hours for some time to come.
