“NOW COME PIGS”
MORE CONTROL BILLS DISCUSSION IN HOUSE (Per Press Association.) WELLINGTON, this day. ■‘We have had tomato and poultry, and now come pigs,” said Mr. J. A. Lee. (Labor, Grey Lynn) when asking in the House last night what was the effect of the Co-operative Pig Marketing Bill and how many moro bills of this type there would be. The Hon. G*. E. Macmillan said the bill was designed to give co-operative pig marketing companies the same rights as to surrender and re-issue of shares as are now enjoyed by dairy companies. He explained that, in a cooperative company, it was possible for a position to arise, through producers of pigs going out of business, that the companies might Ire controlled by what were known as “dry” shareholders. Cooperative companies did not exist for dividends, but for improving the market and controlling the industry concerned ; hence it was important that the control should he in the hands of the actual producers. ,
“This bill deals only with pigs that are quadrupeds,” the Minister added.
