PRICE OF BUTTER.
FARMERS' PROTEST,
(By Telegraph — Press Association.) AUCKLAND, Friday.
Tho Provincial Executive of the Farmers' Union passed a resolution protesting most emphatically against the continued interference by tho Government with prices such as proposed with reference to tho supply of butter for local consumption. "We call attention to the fact that the farmers' cost of production has enormously increased," cays the motion. "A comparison of present with former prices is most misleading, and we contend that the cost of living has been affected by the general rise in the prices of commodities. We fail to see any reason why butter should be singled out for special treatment."
