CHILDREN'S SHOES
ADVANCE IN PRICES COMMENT BY MINISTER [BY TELEGRAPH —PRESS ASSOCIATION] WELLINGTON. Thursday Reports which he had received that certain retailers had advanced their prices for children's shoes and had told customers the advance was due to the imposition of the tariff were the subject of comment by the Minister of Industries and Commerce, the Hon. D. G. Sullivan, to-day. There had been 110 increases, he said, in the tariff 011 children's footwear. Such action on the part of retailers was unfair, and ho had instructed district officers to watch the position very closely, and, where there was definite evidence of such exploitation, action would be taken under the Board of Trade Act or the Prevention of Profiteering Act.
