THE BOOT TRADE.
INDUSTRIAL ASSOCIATION’S REPORT. By Telegraph—-Pres3 Association. Wellington, last night. The Committee of Wellington Industrial Association has reported that it is of opinion that though the boot trade does undoubtedly show a decrease in the number of workers employed, that is not in itself a cause for alarm. The present position is better for both masters and men. The question of the future of the trade lies in the methods of production being left free and untrammelled by the awards of the Court of Arbitration, and in the workers realising that if they are to keep their trade going they must get the full complement ofj work out of their machines, and thus successfully fight the American competition. At a meeting of the Council of the Association to-nigbt the report was adopted without discussion.
