Duncan, implement manufacturers, attended and submitted a scheme to ■check the operations of the Harvester Trust The scheme, shortly, is that local makers of implements should doposit copies of their price lists, which should be taken as the standard prices. If the local makers should reduce the retail price Government to impose an import duty equal to four times the reduction, and should makers increase the price the import duty to be correspondingly decreased. The following motion was adopted:— That the proposals of the implement manufacturers commend themselves to the favourable consideration of the Executive, hut under the altered circumstances we cannot take definite action tintil the proposals are further considered.
The discussion was consequently adjourned. The President and Mr G. W. Leadly were appointed delegates in the event of a conference being held before the next meeting of the Executive.
