Mr. BUXTONThe question of the conditions prevailing in the manufacture of vessels from sheet iron and steel, whether tinned, galvanised, or enamelled, is receiving consideration in connection with the proposed extension of the Trade Boards Act, and I shall be glad to receive any information bearing upon the subject which can be furnished by persons interested in these trades, whether as workmen or employers, or by the association to which they belong.
