DAIRY CONTROL BOARD.
SLIGHT ON WANGANUI PORT. LOCAL FARMERS AGGRIEVED. (Pa United Pbess Association.) WANGANUI, October 3. A representative and well-attended conference of delegates from dairy factories over a wide area who are doing business with Wanganui port met this morning and passed a resolution protesting against the action of the Dairy Control Board in completing an agreement with the overseas shipping companies which restricts the exportation of dairy produce through' the port of Wanganui. The meeting expressed the opinion that the conditions should not have been agreed to by the board in the interests of the dairy Industry, because it established a precedent for interference throughout New Zealand with the right of dairy factories to ship their produce through any grading port. The meeting asks the Minister of Agriculture to request the board to take immediate steps to re-establish the conditions which obtained at Wanganui prior to the coming into force of the present new agreement. A further resolution requested Parliament to take a plebiscite of the dairy industry with a view to the abolition of the board. *
