SHORTAGE OF LABOUR .
GOVERNMENT INQUIRY PROCEEDING IN WELLINGTON. [From ,Oi;n Correspondent.] WELLINGTON, January 27. - The inquiry instituted by the Government into the shortage of labour experienced in manufacturing industries during the past year is now well under way. It is not restricted, as has been erroneously stated, to n:anufacturers alone, as the Government has given instructions that secretaries of Labour Unions in the trades concerned■ are to be consulted, as. well "as the leading manufacturers. By this means it is hoped to secure absolutely, reliable data.
The investigation is now being carried out in - Wellington by means of personal interviews by the officer charged with the work, and beforo long he will have to proceed to other centres for the same purpose. Though the present inquiry, is limited to manufacturing industries, it is understood that other branches of industry, such as agriculture, will be dealt with later separately.
