COUPONS AND PRIZES
GBOCEBS DEBIEB ABOLITION.
(By Telegraph.—Press Association.) AUCKLAND, 7th September. The Auckland Industrial Association discussed a letter from the Master Grocers' Association, urging the need for legislation to abolish coupons and prize schemes, which encouraged the public to believe that they were getting something for nothing and encouraged the essence of gambling; also the need for price fixation and maintenance, by manufacturers and wholesalers, agreeing to have goods supplied conditionally upon minimum prices being observed. The association agreed to send a representative to a meeting arranged by the Master Grocers' Association to discuss the subject. The association discussed a proposal to make an industrial display by means, of a train visiting different centres in the North Island. . The secretary said that he considered that the proposal could be carried out if they got a vote from the Government. Action was deferred. . . ".
