INDUSTRIAL EFFICIENCY
STRONG OPPOSITION TO NEW BILL CHAMBER OF COMMERCE CONCERNED [Per United Press Association.] AUCKLAND, October 5. Strong opposition to the provisions of the Industrial Efficiency Rill were voiced at a special general meeting of the Chamber of Commerce this morning, nearly 100 members attending. A resolution, moved by Mr F. G. Haskett, was carried, though there were a number of dissentients. The resolution expressed alarm at the far-reaching proposals contained in the Bill, involving bureaucratic control of .all industrial and commercial activity in the Dominion, complete subjugation of all private enterprise without the provision of compensation, the unlimited powers granted to the Minister in taking away the right of the subject to appeal to the courts, and urging on the Government the desirability of modifying the Bill, or, failing that, postponing further action until its far-reaching implications are understood by the public.
