THE SUMMER TIME BILL.
RETAILERS OBJECT TO EXEMPTIONS. (By Telegraph. — Press Association.) PALMERSTON N., Friday. At a meeting of the Retailers' Association to-night a resolution was passed protesting against the provisions of section 14 of the Shops and Offices Amendment Bill, which, if passed, will allow small shopkeepers to apply to a magistrate for total or partial exemption as to closing hours. The chairman, Mr. James Wallace, said he considered the section an attempt to undermine the foundation of a system of shopping which was the envy of the whole world. Other members spoke of it as being in direct opposition to daylight saving.
