BOOT SUPPLY.
ANOTHER CONTRACT. UNEMPLOYMENT BOARD OFFER TO RETAILERS. (By Telegraph.—Press Association.) DUNEDIN, this day. Before going north this morning, Mr. Walter Bromley,, of the Unemployment Board, stated that he had completed arrangements in Dunedin for the manufacture of 0000 pairs of working boots. He said the manufacturers assured him that these orders would mean plumbing the market for raw material and skilled labour, which was further proof that it was a demand additional to the ordinary market, and non-existent prior to the board's intervention. He repeated, for general dissemination, a statement lip had just made to the manufacturers, that the board did not desire to interfere with the ordinary channels of the industry. If the retailers, through their national association, could show the board how it could work through the retail stores, while still maintaining the same advantage to the unemployed and allowing 10 per cent for handling, the board would give careful consideration to any proposals.
