MANUFACTURERS' BODY WELLINGTON WITHDRAWS DIFFERENCES OF OPINION [BT TKLEGRArn OWN CORRESPONDENT] WELLINGTON. Friday A split has occurred in the New Zealand Manufacturers' Federation, the Wellington Manufacturers' Association having withdrawn its affiliation. Tlio president of the New Zoaland federation, Mr. H. B. Duckworth, Christchurch, interviewed, said that he had nothing to say at present, as the resignation of Wellington had not been officially accepted. It had been tendered at a meeting of the council in Wellington on Wednesday and had boen held over for consideration at a further meeting of the council, the date of which had not yet been decided. Independent inquiries 'show that a difference of opinion has arisen on tho council, it being considered by Wellington that statements have been made and impressions created which do not represent the correct opinion of tho manufacturers as a whole. These relate in particular to tho impression which, it is alleged, has been created that the manufacturers of New Zoaland are entirely in support of tho Government's policy in relation to local industries and matters affecting them. It is stated to bo a possibility that another Dominion organisation of manufacturers /may arise from the present situation.
