WDULD ENTAIL PLANT DUPLICATION [Per Unites Press Association. 1 ] WELLINGTON, Juno 14. A conference in regard to daylight baking was held to-day. Mr Watson, opening for the bakers, said they were not ashing for daylight baking, but for a cessation of work between 1) p.m. and 4 a.m. He instanced what bad been done in a number of other countries in regard to doing away with night baking. Both Mr Justice Stringer and Mr Justice_ Sim bad expressed the view that legislation should be introduced dealing with the subject. Bakers held that the needs of the public could he mot with a 4 a.m. start.

On behalf of the master bakers, Mr Burton said chaos resulted when any endeavor was niade to restrict the hours .of baking. The resolution in favour of the system, passed at Geneva, had to be largely discounted, as it was carried at the instance of small European countries in' which conditions were totally -different" from the conditions in Great Britain and America. .The carters and the general public were entitled to consideration. If the proposal were carried it would be necessary for practically every bakehouse in the dominion to duplicate its plant. ' '■ ■
