INCREASED WOOL PRICE
SOUTHLAND PROTEST (P.A.) Invercargill, March 12. Strong objection to the Government's retention of portion of the increased price of wool allowed by the British Government was voiced at a meeting of the Southland executive of the Farmers’ Union to-day. The meat and wool committee considered the retention of portion of the increase was a deliberate “steal” by 'the Government, said Mr. G. A. Hamilton. The committee favoured a proposal from the Drummond branch that, if a test case failed, the farmers could then call public meetings of protest. It was decided to recommend that a test case be taken and to suggest that branches call public meetings.
