WELLINGTON DISPUTE. [FEB Jt'BESS ASSOCIATION.] WELLINGTON, July 3. A complaint was made by 'the City carriers to the No. 6 Licensing Authority to-day that the Railway Department and the long-distance carriers from Palmerston North and Masterton were delivering goods from their centres to numerous places in the city. They suggested the establishment of a depot ■where long-distance goods could be left for distribution by city carriers.
The Chairman of the Authority, Mr G. A. Troup, suggested that the interested parties should confer and make a report later. This afternoon, Mr Troup asked the manager of the New Zealand Express Company whether it was possible to-co-opera"te with the railways regarding the long-distance goods tyaffic. “Yes, if we got a fair deal from them,” was the reply, “but at present we don’t think it is. We haVe had several conferences, but th.ey were not very profitable.” He suggested that co-operation should be by a tbh rate, and not a truck rate, as was desired by the Railway'Department. The carriers were prepared to give the scheme a month’s trial.
