A POLITICAL MOTIVE
HON. W. NOSWORTHY’S REMARKS. PROTEST FROM AUCKLAND. Per Press Association. AUCKLAND July 7. The committee of the Industrial Association to-day considered the Hon. W. Nosworthy’s speech in Parliament on the prices of fertilisers, and carried the following resolution: “This assoeda. tion, judging from Press reports, regrets that the Minister for Agriculture should attack an industry, presumably on account of the political opinion of interested parties, and further regrets that such attack should be launched against a particular company without the Minister satisfying himself that such company is charging rates in excess of those charged by other similar concerns.”
Referring to the matter in its editorial columns on Saturday the “Auckland' Star” remarked that it was a curious coincidence that certain directors of the company concerned should have been “prominent in the movement to eetaibish a Farmers’ Party, the operation of which would take votes from Reform.”
