AFTER-HOURS TRADING
REQUEST FOR PREVENTIVE LEGISLATION By Telegraph—Press Association WELLINGTON, June 1. The question of after-hours trading by certain shopkeepers has been the subject of zrepresentations to the Prime Minister, the Rt. Hon. M. J. Savage, by retailers, who asked for legislative action to prevent it. The Prime Minister, in an interview to-day, said he had told the ret Ilers that there was no chance of the consolidation of the Shops and Offices Act, but he had assured them that the Government could do nothing less than enforce the present law. “I think that some change is needed, he said, “but we need time also. We have already exceeded things we promised to do when we came into office, and I think we are the only Government that can lay claim to that.”
