WELLINGTON WOOLLEN COMPANY.
Per Press Association
WELLINGTON, September 15
At tho annual meeting of the Wellington Woollen Manufacturing Company tho chairman said the English manufacturer was able to under-sell the kcal makers by an admixture of shoddy and by using the labour of alien men, women, and children, who were working for r. baro subsistence under conditions intolerable to Britishers. The clothing trado of England was earned on on line; that could not be emulated here. In 1900 woollen and piece goods, apparel and slops, and hosiery were valued at £545,557, and in 1904 at £1,----162,735. For the year 1905 the value of tho output of the New Zealand mills did 'not reach one-third of the imports.
