PRIMARY PRODUCERS FARMERS IN CONFERENCE FARMERS IN CONFERENCE. GOVERNMENT’ S CONTROL. TRICES. OF CONDEMNED BY FARMERS’ conference. (United Press Association) WELLINGTON, This Day. The Wellington Fanners’ Provincial Conference opened to-day In his presidential address, Mr G. 1.. Marshall dealt, with various matters of interest to farmers. He congratulated dairymen especially, on the work done in the face of many difficulties. The inability of freezing works to cope with the quantity of fat stock was one cause of complaint. Australia, he thought, had been favoured In the matter of instated tonnage. He alluded to the further attempts by the Government to •interfere wih the control of the prices of primary products. It was high time fanners * exerted greater influence in the political arena. They had nothing to fear from a member who w as actuated by real love of King and country,! but he feared there was a large admixture of people, chiefly in the cities, who would give votes to the loudest mouthed demagogue. It was perfectly obvious that, so long as the increasingly _ large part of the community persisted in demanding shorter hours and decreasing the weekly output, the conditions of liv’ng would be increasingly difficult. Referring to the demands of organised Labour regarding shorter hours of work, Mr Marshall said an Industrial Council, consisting of representatives from capital, labour, producers, and the consuming public might have a good effect, A resolution was passed bringing before the Government the serious position of the farming community owing to the shortage of insulated shinning and the conseauent congestion of meat in the cold «tores of the Dominion ; also that the Dominion Cnference be asked to call' a met.ig of the committee with the object of forwarding a plan to safeguard shipping interests.
