ABOLITION OF FLOUR DUTY.
By Telegraph—Press Association, OAMARU, September 2. This morning a petition was largely signed by flour mill operatives pretesting against the abolition of the duty on Australian flour, on the ground that it would seriously affect the labour market by closing the New Zealand mills and throwing a large number out of employment. The petition is being forwarded to the Minister of Customs and local representatives. The local Chamber of Commerce has the Minister and members of the House protesting against the removal of the duty on Hour, pointing out that it would seriously affect town and country labour, and lend to a diminution in the price of land. The North Otago A. and P. Association is taking similar action.
