WOMEN'S FOOTWEAR
QUESTION OF QUALITY
(P.A.) DUNEDIN, This Day. A denial that composition had been used in the manufacture of women's footwear at Dunedin was given by the footwear group of the Dunedin Manufacturers* Association in reply to the Press report of the annual conference of the Dominion Federation of the Boot Trades Association in Christchurch, which said that such material was widely used. The Dunedin manufacturers said they confined their remarks to practice as they knew it locally, but they believed that 99 per cent, of' the northern manufacturers were also using leather only. The secretary of the Manufacturers' Association, Mr. F. L. Kitchens, said he had been in communication with the vice-president of the Federation of the Boot Trades Association, who had informed him it was not the intention of the conference to represent that the practice of using composition was general.
