WAR-TIME CONTROLS
DIRECTION OF MAN-POWER SPEEDIEST POSSIBLE RELAXATION (P.A.) WELLINGTON, June 12. All the remaining directions under the Industrial Man-power Emergency Regulations will be cancelled at the end of June. Reporting this to the annual conference of the New Zealand Federation of Labour, the retiring president, Mr A. McLagan, M.L.C., .who held the war-time portfolio of Minister of Industrial Man-power, gave uetails of the progressive removal of the emergency controls imposed on industrial man-power. Mr McLagan said that, by the end of March, except for a few cases of special emergency, new directions had ceased to be issued and current directions had been cancelled, except in respect of industries remaining essential and of category A men held on appeal during the war years. The Government had carried out a policy of the speediest possible relaxations. In the sawmilling 'and coalmining industries, however, the need for sustained production continued to be so urgent and vital that the retention of declarations of essentiality until the end of June, 1946, could not be avoided without serious effects upon the country as a whole.
