BOOT INDUSTRY
GOVERNMENT’S INTENTIONS REQUEST TO MINISTER 1 Per Press Association. J AUCKLAND, Nov, 23. "After talking over with its representatives the position facing the boot manufacturing industry, I promised that I would discuss matters with other members of Cabinet to see if an announcement of the Government's Intentions to help the industry could not be expedited,” said the Minister of Labour, Hon, H. T. Armstrong, today. The boot manufacturers were concerned with the likelihood of having to put off further operatives, he added. They feit that many of the operatives dismissed would drift into other avenues of employment and that when the trade revived again their skilled services would be lost to the industry. If the industry knew' definitely the Government's intentions it could plan ahead and by adding to stocks to meet the demand when normal condition; returned it could retain the services of men who otherwise might have to be dismissed.
