THE LABOUR MARKET.
Scarcity of Skilled Hands in Auckland.
Suggestion for Government Action.
(Per United Press Association).
AUCKLAND, March 31.
The scarcity of skilled labour is seriously impeding the output of Auckland manufacturing industries. The manager of one clothing factory stated that he could do with 100 hands and others made similar statements. It was further stated that the labour conditions were so serious that orders were being sent abroad. Several employers advocated the importation of skilled labour, one suggestion being that the Government should circularise all employers asking for particulars of the labour they required, with a guarantee to employ a certain number of skilled hands, and that these should be engaged by a committee to be sent to London, and allocated to the various industries on the list.
