SHEARING COSTS.
MEN ASKED FOR INCREASE. (By Telegraph—Press Association.) WELLINGTON, Sept. 29. A manifesto has been issued by the Workers’ Union advising the shearers !
not to accept work under the existing award of 25/-. per 100. A demand ha s been made on the sheep-owners for 30/-, on the ground that the price of wool has risen and the shearers are entitled to an increase.
FARMERS MAY RESIST. (By Telegraph—Press Association.) WELLINGTON, Sept 29. The general impression is that the sheepowners will resist the attempt toincrease the shearing rates, but no official statement is available as the legal position is being considered. The point is whether if the men do not offer for work, it will constitute a strike or whether there can be no strike till the men have actually begun work.
