THE DEARTH OF LABOUR.
FARMERS' UNION ACTION. (Br Telegraph.—Press Association.) PALMERSTON N„ December 8. At a meeting of the Farmers' Union to-day, the following resolution was passed : " That the executive of the Union be requested to draw the Premier's attention to the fact that the Canterbury Trades and Labour Council recently sent a circular letter ~ to many leading newspapers of Great Britain and Ireland giving misleading information as to the prospects »of the employment of immigrants in the colony, both male and female, and that the Premier be requested to officially contradict the statements contained in the letter by putting the position of labour in this colony fairly and impartially before the labourers in the Old Country." The meeting also decided to ask the pro- " vincial executive to take some decisive action to protest against the present method of dealing with condemned daily stock, especially pointing out the inadequate compensation paid.
