DRAPERS AND CLOTHIERS.
CONFERENCE AT AUCKLAND. COMPETITIVE BUSINESSES. By Telegraph.—Press Association. Auckland, Last Night. The conference of the Federation of Drapers and Clothiers opened to-day, Mr. Tait presiding.
It was decided to take steps to stop wholesale houses supplying “mushroom’’ businesses, commonly known as sample rooms, with this being considered as a menace to the trade owing to underselling. The conference urged that the law and municipal regulations against itinerant sellers and auctioneers be strengthened.
It was resolved to make overtures to allied traders and other retailers with a view to the creation of a Dominion executive, representing all retail distributors.
The conference urged the restoration of the penny duty on cheques, the remission of one per c?nt. primage, and that gifts to national, civic, and philanthropic objects, not exceeding 15 per cent, of income, be deducted from taxable income.
