The zeal with.which the farmers of the community safegnard their interests has been excited; by, recent developments in industrial - and: commercial matters.' Co-, operation:in self-defence is now being) urged by Major D..H. Lusk. (president of the Auckland :Exedutive of the New Zealand'Farniora'iirnion), who has addressed a letter on tho subject .to the ohairmen of all co-operative businesses in Auckland .province.' Major Lusk's letter ds.as-fol-lows:— M : i v-'>'■■■■'■' , -: ;; ;"".V-.' ■:'':.'' ; -.":'; : :' ■ '"There are at present strong indications of. combined action on the part of 'the Labour organisations','and also shipping companies, which, if not- checked, and' counteracted, may prove dnimical to the interests of your: business, and, I believe,. lalso to the prosperity of the whole body of the producers nnd agriculturists in the Dominion. I.therefore take the liberty to suggest "that there is urgent need for' united notion on our part in self-defence, and, further, that it is a wise and- good policy - for all; our strictly ■ cp-opcrativo business concerns. .to bo ■ constantly -in friendly communication. I believe that much good would result if you agree to a plan whereby representativo' delegates »from eaoh (\nd every one. of the prin-ciparco-operative business concerns'in the province would '.meet in Auckland, say onco at least In each quarter of the year, and discuss matters Of general and mutual 'interest and: formulate a plan''of 'action' to.protect ourselves against.' any aggressive; tactics which may threaten to hamper, our /industrial operations, l I ask you to bring before your members and managing bodies this suggestion: as, soon as possible, and If, as. I sincerely hope, they agree to the proposal, to communicate your' consent, togother; with any reconi-. 'mendation as to tho best:methods of ar-. ranging an early conference, to the secretary'of the .Farmers' Union, Auckland." ■'.'■^y.-!': -'.'.. . i. v ' •' '■'.■ ':
