ALLEGED UNFAIR COMPETITION. Towards the end of lost session. Mr. W. JI. Field (Otaki) asked the Minister of Labour whether he would bring down legislation to define more clearly a perishable-food shop, in view of the fae.fi that these so-called perishable-food shops had become large distributors of general groceries, tobacco, etc., and had thus become unfair competitors with tho general, fitorekeepers and tobacconist/;, who were compelled to close according to the Shops and Offices Acv? The Ministerial reply is as follows: “Tho desirability of doing so is recognised, and legislation io under consideration for introduction next session. _ Any storekeeper or. tolxaconist mentioned should, however, place his complaint before the Department’s inspectors, as "J m»st cast’s Hie present: Act is considered sufficient to prevent the competition referred to.”
