SHORTAGE OF LABOUR.

\l '4 PRESS ASSOCIATION COHREC- ;■ TION. [Pjcr. Phess Association.] • HASTINGS, January 30. sjfVvTho manager of the Frimley Canning •Company has drawn the Press AssociaHon agent's attention to the fact that • c ,' fcis omission of a few words in the tele- '*• ,gi'aphed report of tho deputation to ' the Prime Minister yesterday is ealcui~\ iated to do injury to tho company's •( business. _ The sentence complained jibout was incomplete. It should have " r ;ead: "Had been compelled to disconititiue the canning of both dessert and pie fruits this season." J In order that the report should not : Jbe' misconstrued it is important that ■' ■ publicity, should be given to tho follow- ■ ing statement, which is contained in a ' -circular the manager recently sent out: regard to the canning of vege..liablos, most of this work is done by J" /machinery, and the company is able ' /this season to pack a fair quantity, but !cnot sufficient to fill all- the require1' ments of the dominion. We shall still v 'continue to pack our ordinary linos, such us peas, tomatoes, French beans, iiims, sauces, soices, and other, sundry lines, as in our price, list."
