MAIN TRUNK FREIGHTS
Telegram to Mr. Goodfellow In connection with the question he asked in the House of Representatives last week relating ~to railway freight rates on the Main Trunk line, and the subsequent reply by Mr. William Goodfellow, managing director of Amalgamated Dairies, Ltd., the Hon. A. D. McLeod, M.P. for Wairarapa, dispatched yesterday the following telegram to Mr. Goodfellow at Auckland: — “More or less public statements are being made that you, or companies you are largely interested in, are practising unfair trading methods through a certain class of stores, and also in the sale and distribution of coal and other national requirements. As a believer in the principle of live and let live, I welcome and unreservedly accept your assurance that you or the companies you are interested in do not indulge in unfair trading methods. As a member of the Cabinet that granted long-dis-tance cheap railway freights on dairy produce, my recollection is that you or your company alone asked for the concession, and that such was to be used alone to assist the export trade.”
