Messrs........................
Dear Sirs—Enclosed please find copies of our letters to Secretary New Zealand Mülers' Association, and his reply to same re our suggestion proposing a conference to consider the introduction of the eight hours system in New Zealand flour mills.
When our delegates waited upon you personally, you expressed yourself favourably towards the proposed conference, and we would like very much to know if such is still your intention, as we have reason to believe you were not consulted before the original of the enclosed copy was written.
I am, yours faithfully,
David Orme, Secretary.
