MILL MAY CLOSE DOWN
SCARCITY OF SKILLED LABOUR
Electric Telegraph—Press Association GISBORNE, June 23. A statement that a timber mill which he opened at Motuhora might have to be closed because of a shortage of skilled labour was made to-day by Mr. F. W. Peddle. Mr. Peddle explained that he kept operations going a,t a heavy financial cost to himself and unless labour problems were solved in the near future he wopld have to shut down, a step he was reluctant to take. It would mean loss of employment to approximately 20 men. Skilled labour was not obtainable for the mill. He had applied to the State Placement Service which had made inquiries throughout the Dominion without success.
