At a general meeting of the Auckland Master Grocers' Union, held on Tuesday night at the offices of the Employes' Association it was unanimously decided that Empire Day should this year be observed bv tlie grocers as a holiday, instead of *the Prince of Wales' Birthday. A lengthy discussion took plate on thequestion of credit. It was asserted that j a pernicious hafcot- was becoming all Uw prevalent amongst a certain class of p?o---ple of victimising tradespeople by obtaining unlimited credit for goods, and by misrepresentations made to shopkeepers. With the object of reducing risks, it was decided that in future all membens of the Master Grocers' Union will refuse to give credit to any person by whom accounts for groceries* are known to be owing until such debts have been liquidated..
