Mr. D. Orme,
28th February, 1891.
Secretary Mill Employees' Society, Timaru.Dear Sir—We are duly in receipt of yours of 17th inst. and note contents. We have informed our employees of our intentions regarding the eight hour system; and seeing the aggressive action some of the members of your Society have taken against our mill, in interviewing our customers and requesting them to refrain from purchasing our flour, we must decline the conference you propose.
Yours faithfully,
Timaru Milling Company, Ltd.,(P. W. Eiby, Manager).
