MAMAKU SAWMILL CLOSING
CONSULTATIONS INCONCLUSIVE. EMPLOYMENT OF MEN DISPLACED. By Telegraph—Press Association. Wellington, Last Night. The results of consultations between the Prime Minister, the Rt. Hon. G. W. Forbes, and the Government Railways Board concerning the closing of the Mamaku sawmill have been inconclusive. The only outcome was a statement that an endeavour would be made by the board to find work in parts of the railway service for men who had been displaced by the closing of the mill. • It was admitted by Mr. Forbes to-day that it would not be possible for the employment of the men, if it were made available, to be provided at Mamaku. It had not been possible to lease the mill to the men on a co-operative basis, Mr. Forbes explaining that according to the members of the board arrangements -could not be made. The board, however, had promised to review the position at the end of the current financial year instead of at the end of July, as was originally intended.
