MANUFACTURE OF MUNITIONS. Feb Pbess Association. Wellington, August 30. Hon. A. M. Myers has arranged to call a conference of leading engineers throughout the Dominion, with a view to discussing the subject of manufacturing munitions. The possibility of making machine-guns, rifles, explosives, etc., will be carefully considered. The conference will consist of leading engineers and military experts, and all aspects of the subject will be discussed. The conference will be held in Wellington next Friday morning, at 11 o'clock, and Hon. Mr Myers will preside. So far as military supplies generally are concerned Mr Myers has now collected necessary information to show the state of materials required, in manufacture and equipment, and the maximum outputs of various factories that would deal with these matters.
