EARLY CLOSING
SHOPKEEPERS PROTEST TO MR.
MASSEY.
By Telegraph.—Press Association. Auckland, February 26.
A protest of small shopkeepers against tho recent amendment of the Shops and Offices Act regarding early closing was made to tho Prime Minister by a deputation representing the Auckland Provincial Shopkeepers’ Association. It was urged that the restriction pressed very heavily on a class of business folk which could ill-afford it. Ihe restriction was affecting their income, and would ultimately bring hardship likely to intensify the unemployment problem. Mr Massey promised that he would have’the matter brought before Parliamont, but pointed out that he could not in any way pledge himself as to the result 'of repi-Montattons made in the House.
