ROYAL SHOW BOYCOTT
SHOWMEN'S ASSOCIATION TAKES ACTION LICENSE PROVISION RESISTED [Per United Press Association.] INVERCARGILL, December 7. A boycott of the Centennial Royal Show next week will be imposed by the New Zealand Showmen’s Association if the Southland A. and P. Association insists on the men being licensed. The showmen’s decision means that there will be very few sideshows at the show. Instead, they are making arrangements to organise their own carnival on vacant ground behind the railway station. Representatives of the showmen met the directors of the Southland Association to-day and requested them to waive the provision in the association’s by-laws requiring showmen to be licensed. but the directors decided to adhere to their previous decision and admit only licensed showmen.
