Melbourne, August 23. A deputation of timber merchants asked the Minister of Customs to give increased protection to Australian timbers.

The suggestion was made that reciprocity should be arranged with New Zealand so that pine could be admitted free in return for the placing of Australian hard woods on the New Zealand free list. A deputation to the Federal Govern ment risked for concessions in connection with the boot and leather industries. Mr Bailey, of Sydney, said he hoped the duty on skiver? (inferior leather) would be retained. If this were done, his fun would remove their plant, at present in New Zealand, to Australia and start manufacturing skivers.
