WORK AND WAGES.
ANOTHER STRIKE. United Press Association— By Electrio Telegraph — Copyright. (Received April 15, 9.45 a.m.) SYDNEY, April 15. A strike of wheelers has thrown, the JBurwood pit idle. FPeb Pbess Association.] AUCKLAND, April 15. The acuteness of the labour problem •was pointed out by Mr A. Clark, chairman of the Auckland Industrial Association, yesterday. He said that the prejudice against local industries had been, to a great extent, overcome, but they were faced with a great difficulty in connectioa with the labour supply. In the soft goods trade his firm alone could find employment for fifty, to one hundred hands more. In consequence of the shortage of labour, and much against the firm's will, they had had to import goods which they could manufacture here to greater advantage, and possibly sell locally with greater profit to themselves. But they were no * able to do so because they could not get labour to manufacture the goods the public were crying out For. It was a very serious matter and k question which the Association should take up. .
