No Flour For Bread Next Week: Effect Of Strike
Greymouth may have no bread next week, if the rail strike has not been settled. .Bakers have only sufficient flour stocks for a few days’ baking next week. They do not think there will be enough for a bake for next week-end.
The baking of cakes and other small goods will cease with the stopping of bread manufacture. Representations have been made to the strike committees of the Greymouth railwaymen, it was reported today, for special dispensation to allow the bakers to bring flour by road to Greymouth next week. No reply, however, had been received this afternoon, and one baker said that he believed that the outlook was not too hopeful. The transport of flour from Canterbury in any case, would be costly, and would add threepence or fourpence to the cost of each loaf of bread, said a baker.
