TAILORING TRADE
ROOM FOR IMPROVEMENT (By Telegraph—Special to ‘‘The Mail”) i CHRISTCHURCH,, 21st January. To discuss the decline of the firstclass tailoring trade and to consider possible means of checking it, a conference of representative of the tailoring trade unions and associations of master tailors in New Zealand will be held in Christchurch next week. Mr J. Roberts, secretary of the New Zealand Clothing Trades Federation which is convening the conference told a reporter to-day that one of the suggestions that had been put forward was the registration of tailors on the lines of plumbers and electricians. Though opinion in the trade was not unanimously in favour of this stop, such a step would have the effect of protecting both those in the trade and members of the public, as the latter sometimes bought garments under (lie impression that they were tailored, when they really were not. “Altogether in opposition to the factory trade,” said Mr Roberts, “we realise there is room for it too.”
