CONTRACTORS’ RELIEF FUND
PA AUCKLAND, Mar. 8. A relief fund for contractors who experience financial difficulty during the present dispute with the carpenters is being established by the Auckland Master Builders’ Association, and £2OOO has already been received or promised. It includes a donation of £IOOO from the New Zealand Master Builders’ Federation, £250 from a private Christchurch builder, and £IOO from the Manawatu Master Builders/ with promises of £4OO from the '/ Wellington Master Builders, and £250 from the Nelson Master Builders. The? Waikato, Southland, and Otago master builders’ associations are meeting ito decide on contributions. Work in the roof-tiling industry is rapidly coming to an end, due to the dislocation of labour arising from the carpenters’ dispute, and the refusal of tilers to fix battens on jobs from which carpenters have been dismissed.
