THE TIMBER INDUSTRY
MR HOLLAND URGES PROTECTION. (Pbb United Press Abs< ciation.) TAUMARUNUI, May 2. Mr H. B. Holland, Loader of the Opposition, addressed a large audience here on Saturday night in the Theatre Royal. He dealt mainly with the laud policy, the timber industry, and dairy control. So far as timber was concerned, he said, the Labour Party advocated a revenue-pro-ducing tariff, and would not permit imported timber to drive our own off the market. Of some 10,000 timber workers in the Dominion 2000 were only partly employed. Foreign timber, he added, was being brought to the Dominion from Sweden at a cost which was less than the railage from Ohakune to Wellington.
