REMINDER FOR MR FRASER (By Telegraph.—Press Association) AUCKLAND, Monday. The secretary of the Auckland Houses of Entertainment and Places of Amusement Employees’ Union has advised the Prime Minister, the Rt. Hon. P. Fraser, of a petition which 100 female members of the union forwarded to the Hon. W. Nash when he was acting-Prime Minister. This stated that it was impossible for the members to secure an adequate supply of silk stockings. They pointed out that they had to be smartly dressed and that stockings were essential, and suggested in order that distribution should be fair and sales controlled, the issue of coupons or distribution by other suitable means.
