DISSATISFACTION EXPRESSED

MANUFACTURERS TO PROTEST

(By Telegraph.—Press Association.)

DUNEDIN, 19th September. A large meeting of members of the Dunedin Manufacturers' Association was held this afternoon, those present representing about 10,000 employees in various local industries.

A large number of -written statements was submitted by members showing the effect of the new tariff. General dissatisfaction was expressed with the tariff as a whole on the ground that no policy of assistance to secondary industries had been promulgated, despite the many representations to the Minister of Customs on the subject and the encouraging attitude of members of the Government to representations put forward.

It was decided that Messrs. T. Somerville and J. Sutherland Eoss (vicepresident) proceed to Wellington on Wednesday to confer with manufacturers from Auckland, Wellington and Christchurch, and to take concerted action to approach the Government and members of Parliament, stressing the claims of New Zealand manufacturers to an adequate protective tariff in specific cases.

Many individual manufacturers also intend to go to Wellington in their particular interests.

Just after the meeting had dispersed a telegram was received from the Wellington Association stating that a representation of Dominion manufacturers was being arranged to meet at Wellington on Thursday to meet the Minister of Customs and. Comptrollertreneral. It was therefore decided to call a special meeting for the next, morning to arrange, if possible, for a strong delegation to proceed to Wellington on Wednesday to act with the other New Zealand manufacturers.
