ANNUAL CONFERENCE
(Special to "The Evening Post.") MASTERTON, This Day. The annual meeting of the New Zealand blaster. Carriers' Federation was opened at Masterton to-day, delegates being present from all parts of the Dominion. Mr. Em Smith (Christchurch), president, -was in tho chair. The annual report, which was adopted, stated, inter alia, that repeated representations were made last year against the , system of road classification in vogue, but nothing was done by the Government in tho matter. . However, road classification would no doubt receive consideration along with taxation matters by the new * Minister of Transport. '■' The federation had made a general protest to the Government against the increasing activity of State and local body trading, but with no tangible result.; It was confidently expected tha.t the new Government would discourage any increased activity] in public trading, since the Prime Minister had made a public statement to that effect. Sympathetic reference was made to the death of Mr. K. M. Griffiths, yice-presi- , dent of the federation, who sustained fatal injurie.B while journeying to the last annual conference.
