CHAMBERS OF COMMERCE FAIL TO AGREE NO UNITED PROTEST (THE St.YS Parliamentary Reporter J WELLINGTON. Today. Consulted as to their opinion on the question of protesting to the Government at the increase in the primage duty, the fourteen principal chambers of commerce in the country failed to agree in the matter. Seven chambers in favour of protesting were Auckland, Stratford. South Canterbury. Dunedin. Wanganui, Napier and Ouehunga. Wellington. Canterbury, Hamilton. Oamaru, Hastings, Invercargill and Gisborne were against any action being taken. Wellington*. disapproved the imposition of the duty, but took up the attitude that the matter was purely temporary. In\*ercargill failed to see that it would be any use to protest. Sixty chambers in the country are allied to the associated chambers, and it is customary to consult the principal bodies in any such matters. If there had been a majority, action would have been taken, but with feeling as it is the associated chambers will not move.
