Mr. J. H Harlow, who presided at the opening *luicheon and proposed "Success to the shoe and leather and alles industries,' said that the boot and shoe trade claimed the splendid re- cord of 40 years peace in indus- try. It was good sense always to endeavour to settle labour dim- cities at the conference table. In this progressive, age, he added. new and more rapid machinery, combined with improved methods of production, led to the problem of tewer work-people being re- quired or lessazed hours of work unless they could increase the demand for their products. He asked that people should become shoe consciraus. If they could persuade the public to purchase one pair of shoes extra per head per year it would put every work- man on full time again with full output from every shoe factory, and the problem of mempicy- ment in the industry would be solved.
APPEAL FOR FAIR PLAY
Boot manufacturers at present were having to face serious difficulties in respect of the price, of leather." He appealed for fair play in the matter. The public wanted good shoes and better shoea and would be willing to pay' for them, to why he asked, should buyers try to force manu facturers into lowering their standard of qusity. He believed that prosperity was slowly but surely returning to this country. The steris were many and what they needed was confidence to help it along.
