NO LABOUR SHORTAGE
MEN FOR HAY-MAKING DENIAL BY, MINISTER (Por ProsH Association.) AUCKLAND, this day. I am assured by my officers that every applicant for labour for haymaking has been supplied,” said the Minister of Labour, the Hon. P. C. Webb, replying to a Waikato report that difficulty was being experienced in obtaining sufficient labour to carry out operations rapidly. “My officers,” said the Minister, “guarantee to supply every man required for harvesting. There is definitely no shortage and I am amazed that such a statement should emanate from the Waikato. As men are required for harvesting, they will be transferred from Scheme No. 13. There are more available than will be required. All that is asked is reasonable time for the transfer of men. I have spoken to the Farmers’ Union officials and they have agreed to cooperate with me.”
