OTAGO FREEZING WORKS NOTICE. Now that tho Arbitration Court has given its ruling' in connection with the 6s bonus reduction by converting it into a percentage reduction, and in so doing has removed any doubt which may have existed as to the application of tho reduction to the freezing industry, the companies wish to inform their late employees, many of whom have been in their regular employment for many years past, that they are still willing to re-engage men who are prepared to accept work according to the Arbitration Court’s award. It must, however, be understood that the action of the men who withheld their labour without notice resulted in a stoppage of work, and the companies were, therefore, obliged to engage other labour, which will bo retained, with the result that they cannot re-engage all their lata employees. In making, this advance, the companies realise that it will possibly be improperly used by those who have been responsible for tho present state of affairs. The companies are, however, prepared to take this risk, as they realise that many of those who were responsible have now lost their influence with the genuine worker in the industry, or ore now either otherwise employed, or have ceased- to be resident in tho dominion. This step is taken by companies as they wish to protect as far as possible those who have, in their opinion, been misled into their present unemployment, and they are therefore prepared to make every effort to absorb os many as possible of their late employees who apply to their respective works cm Monday.
