SIZE OF GRAIN SACKS
Farmers Oppose' Reduction By Telegraph — Press Association Invercargill, March 4. A strong protest against any proposal to limit the size of grain sacks was made at a meeting of the Southland provincial executive of the Farmers’ Union to-day. A letter from the Invercargill Grain Merchants’ Association, which did not support the reduction, stated that the proposal fo limit the size of the sacks was for the purpose of making working conditions easier for store ami wharf workers. The project was described as ridiculous by members, one remarking that if wharf labourers were not capable of handling the present sacks, men would have to be imported who were callable. It was decided to protest against any reduction in size.
