INDUSTRIAL EFFICIENCY BILL
AUCKLAND, OPPOSITION. AUCKLAND, Monday. Strong opposition to the provisions of the Industrial Efficiency Bill was voiced at a special general meeting of the Chamber of Commerce to-day, nearly a hundred members! attending. A resolution was moved by Mr F. G. Baskett, and was carried, though there were a number of dissentients, expressing alarm at the far-reaching proposals contained in the Bill, involving bureaucratic control of all industrial and commercial activity in the Dominion and the complete subjugation of all private enterprise without provision for compensation. The resolution also referred to the unlimited powers which would be granted the Minister in taking away the right of the subject to appeal to the courts, and urged on the Government the desirability of modifying the Bill, or, failing that, of postponing further action until its farreaching implications are understood by the public.—(P.A.)
