SWINE FEVER
SPREADING RAPIDLY GRAVE CONCERN FELT. [ Per Press Association. I WELLINGTON, May 17. Relief workers detailed to dig trenches to bury diseased pigs, instead of going to the job this morning, sent two deputations, containing delegates from all relief jobs, to the Unemployment Bureau and Agricultural Department, demanding dirt money in addition to the 10s per day being paid. No digging is proceeding. It is reported that pigs are dying in increased rapidity to-day, and the position is causing the Department grave concern. ORIGIN OF DISEASE AN UNLIKELY SUGGESTION [ Per Press Association. 1 WELLINGTON, May 17. A further suggestion has been made that the outbreak occurred on farms obtaining garbage from Wellington, also that it was possible some of the garbage might have come from intercolonial or overseas vessels. From inquiries made to-day it appears that this is most unlikely because strict regulations apply regarding ships’ garbage, which is taken to the city destructor and burnt. .
