The representatives of the boat trade expressed the opinion that boot manufacturing in this colony would be badly crippled, if not killed, by the removal of the protective tariff through federation, Auckland, March 7.
The evidence taken by the Federation Commission to-day was generally against Federation. Mr TV. F. Buckland, representing the Waikato Fanners’ Club strongly favoured union.
