FRUIT CONTROL.
NELSON AND OTAGO. ASK TO BE EXCLUDED. (Special to “Tribune.”) Parliament Buildings, Sept. 12. Numerous petitions were presented to the House of Representatives yesterday by Mr. H. Atmore and Mr. R. P. Hudson, on behalf of Nelson and Otago fruitgrowers, protesting that the Fruit Control Bill is a direct attempt to create a monopoly, and as such is detrimental to the community as a whole and to the workers, who are the largest consumers of fruit. The petitioners ask that the bill, if passed, be made non-operative in Nelson and Otago. “Taking into consideration the configuration and geograpjilcal position of New Zealand a Dominion control is not possible with produce v’hich is perisnable and liable to deterioration within a very short space of time,” say the petitioners. “Local or any other control of produce, including apples, does not tend to efficiency, but rather to the lessening of efficiency of the industrial producer or grower, and tends to affect the position of the mortgagee, who looks to the grower for the efficient working of his orchard. Tooling is not in the interests of the grower as a whole, whether for export or local markets.”
