DISHONEST PACKING
ALLEGATIONS AT FRUIT INQUIRY SAID TO BE COMMON Press Association WELLINGTON, Today. The retail side of the fruit and vegetable inquiry before the Committee of the House was put yesterday by various witnesses from the retail trade in ■Wellington. A good deal of it centred on wastage and into this came very prominently Hie question of dishonest packing which, to judge from, the statements made, is common. - One witness representing the Chinese traders, said it did not occur with American packing and the same was true of Australia. One shopkeeper said they could not get redress as once the fruit had left the market it was impossible to get a prosecution. This was denied on the part of the department, which stated, however, that cases must be intact. If cases dishonestly packed were unopened when inspected at the shops a prosecution would be made.
