Kill, .secretary of the Auckland branch of the Freezing Works Employees' Union, in a statement of |lie case for the men, stresses tlio point that all freezing works employees are not slaughtermen. Slaughtermen only were concerned in the local dispute, which, he says, is not a strike and was due to the refusal of the employers 1o discuss the conditions of the industry. They did not; present any demands, hut merely asked for a friendly conference and all they got was a snub. Last season the men employed at Southdown earned on the average 67s a week each. For about half of the short freezing season they were idle.
