GRILS FROM COUNTRY
TRANSFER TO LARGER TOWNS
POLICY CRITICISED ON SOCIAL GROUNDS (P.A.) CHRISTCHURCH, Sept. 29. The view that it was undesirable for social reasons to have a greater transfer of female labour from the country districts to the larger towns than is absolutely essential is expressed by the president of the Canterbury Manufacturers’ Association, Mr A. M. Hollander, in a letter to the Minister of Industries and Commerce, Mr D. G. Sullivan, protesting against the direction of girls from the West Coast to essential undertakings in the North Island. Mr Hollander’s protest was endorsed by the council of the association to-night. “Apart from the grave disquiet that is felt here regarding the social implications involved in the wholesale transference of labour from the country districts to the large centres of population. there is also a feeling that this business of concentrating industry in the North Island is to the detriment of the South Island socially, politically, and economically, and that post-war problems are being aggravated by a continuance of this policy,” said Mr Hollander in his letter to the Minister.
