FERTILISER DELIVERY AND 40-HOUR WEEK
Fertiliser delivery and the 40-hour week was one of the topics touched on by Mr. Perry, acting president of Federated Farmers in his report presented to the annual conference.
“We were told that it js likely that another 200,000 tons of fertiliser will be available for the coming season. We were also told, however, that, because of the 40-hour week the Railways lost their two best days for carrying out the transport. If superphosphate works were not to shut down on a Saturday, then Saturday and Sunday would be available for the transport of superphosphate, and these are the two nest, days for the Railways since there is not the same demand for trucks for other purposes on those two days. There is no question that New Zealand is not making a very good fist of the whole production problem.
