DAIRY PRODUCE
CONCESSION ON RAILWAiT FREIGHT.
(By Telegraph.—Press Association.) PALMERSTON N., This Day. A special meeting this morning of tlie executive of the Manawatu and West Coast Dairy Companies' Association expressed strong disfavour at the recent concessions in the railway freights on dairy produce sent to Wellington from 175 to 340 mile radius The grounds of the complaint were that Waikato butter was now under-cutting the produce of these districts on the Wellington market. It was pointed out that the local district companies would .save in freight by sending the produce by road instead of by rail, and that several companies would do this if differential treatment was persisted in. It was decided to make representations to the Railway Board that long distance freights on butter and cheese should apply to produce for export only. The meeting was attended by the four local district members of Parliament, who were entirely in accord with the sentiments expressed.
