A SLAUGHTERMEN’S PROTEST.
CONDITION OF LAMBS.
The secretary of the Canterbury Slaughtermen’s Union wrote to the North Canterbury Executive of the Farmers Union stating that there had been many complaints from the slaughtermen about the daggy condition of many lines of lambs sent to the factories, especially from Belfast. The slaughtermen were seriously thinking of refusing to operate on stock penned' up in such condition. The sheep-farm-ers would be well advised to dag their lambs, thereby avoiding what was likely to lead to trouble.
At the executive meeting the chairman (Mr. F. iHorrell) said that the matter "was of considerable importance. Previously .Canterbury farmers had' sent in their lambs in good condition, but they seemed to have, fallen from grace. It was impossible for a slaughterman to do his work properly if ; the, lambs were dirty. He suggested that the meat factories should be asked to take action.
Mi*. T. E. L. Roberts said that if the meat companies refused dirty lambs the farmers would' toon rectify the mistake. It was decided to refer (the matter to the Provincial Conference for favorable consideration, says an exchange.
