PROSECUTION FOR SUNDAY SHEARING
FARMERS’ FEDERATION TO MAKE TEST CASE Farmers in the Wanganui district are greatly perturbed at the prosecutions which have been instituted against shearers and shed hands working on Sundays. When this matter was referred to him over the telephone last night, the provincial president of Federated Farmers in the Wanganui district (Mr. H. J. Donnelly, Raetlhi) said that the matter was of great concern to the farming community, particularly because of the wot season earlier in the year and the great delay caused to seasonal work on farms, with farmers doing all they could to make up lost time.
Opportunity would bo taken by the federation, Mr. Donnelly said, to make a test case to determine just how far responsible employees and employers had to allow union officialdom to dictate a policy to the detriment of all concerned in the primary industry.
