PRICE OF MEAT
CANTERBURY PROTEST. [PER PRESS ASSOCIATION.] CHRISTCHURCH, October I'7. The Price Investigation Tribunal's action in sanctioning higher meat prices in the Auckland district only, was criticised al a special meeting of the executive of the Canterbury Master Butchers’ Association this evening. A statement, made officially by the Executive, was that the singling out of Auckland for preferential treatment was most unjust when the position of the butchering trade in other districts was more serious. “Unless the Tribunal’s decision for other parts of the Dominion is released immediately, the position, already acute, will become desperate,” the statement continued.
