OTAGO COMPLAINTS
FARMERS’ UNION AFFAIRS. DUNEDIN, August 9. <■ In the course of a report to the Otago provincial executive of the Farmers’ Union to-day on the annual conference of the union, the president, Mr C. R. Slieat, said that the proceedings had teen marred by a lack of unanimity among the, various districts. Otago lmd usually found itself in opposition to the strength of the far north. , > :
“Jn all the years during which I have been travelling up,” said Mr Muyney, who was also a delegate, “the same thing has occurred. It seems quite impossible to get any unanimity between Auckland and the rest of New Zealand. I believe that the same thing has occurred in other bodies as well. Attempts have been made to discipline the Auckland province, but it seems quite impossible.” Mr Mumey said a rule had been adopted which allowed branches that were dissatisfied with the treatment they received from their provincial executive to apply to the New Zealand executive. “This will give the Dominion executive every opportunity really to discipline the Auckland people,” he added. “But I don’t know whether that will get round the difficulty or not.”
