LACK OF UNANIMITY.
REPORT ON FARMERS* UNION CONFERENCE. [THE PEESS special Sarrtce.] DUNEDIN, August 9. In the courso of a report to the Otago Provincial Executive of the Farmers' Union to-day on the annual conference of the union, the president, Mr C. B. Sheat, said that the proceedings had been marred by lack of unanimity among the various districts. Otago had usually found itself in opposition to the strength of tho far north. "In all the years during which I have been travelling up," said Mr Murney, who was also a delegate, ''the same thing has occurred. It seems quite impossible to get any unanimity between Auckland and the rest of New Zealand. I believe that the same thing has occurred in other bodies as well. Attempts have been made to discipline Auckland province, but it seems quite impossible." Mr Murney said a rule had been adopted which allowed branches that were dissatisfied with the treatment they received from therir provincial executive to apply to the New Zealand executive. "This will give tho Dominion executive every opportunity really to discipline the Auckland people," he added; 'but I don't know whether that will get round the difficulty or not."
