DECLARED ESSENTIAL
BUTCHERY ESTABLISHMENTS (F.0.P.R.) WELLINGTON, Dec. 3. All wholesale and retail butchery establishments have been declared essential, stated the Minister of National Service, Mr A. McLagan. to-day. This declaration, the Minister said, applied only to workers coming within the scope of the various butchers’ awards. The decision had been made because the serious shortage of skilled butchers rendered it imperative to conserve the labour available in order to ensure that both the public and the armed forces received adequate supplies of meat.
