The Federal Commission.
SITTING IN AUCKLAND,
By Telegraph—Press Association. Auckland, last night.
The evidence taken by the Federation Commission to-day was generally against federation. Mr W. F. Dockland, representing the Waikato Farmers’ Club, however, strongly favored federation, and John Brown, managing director of D.S.C., and connected with other Auckland industries, was also inclined to favor joining with the Commonwealth, but thought New Zealand should wait a little and see how federated Australia got on. Kev. Purchass, Mr G. Powley, clothing manufacturer, Mr Lippiatt, President of the Fruitgrowers’ Union, and Mr John Faweus, representing the Trades’ and Labor Council, were opposed to federation.
