KILLING RESTRICTED
FREEZING WORKS FILLED INSUFFICIENT SHIPS (Per Press Association.) AUCKLAND, this day. Because an insufficient number of ships is available in New Zealand to carry the cargoes away, the killmg of meat for export at many North Island works has been greatly curtailed. The storage space of most of these works is practically filled up and until the consignment is relieved by loading out of stocks, the companies will be forced to ration killing services among the farmers and stock buyers. The Westfield Freezing Company has been obliged to pay off men engaged on one of the mutton killing rings, involving together with the employees in other departments whose activities are curtailed, between 100 and 130 workers.
