RAILAGE OF BUTTER.
FREIGHTS TOO HIGH. Dan nevi rke, Sept. 19. All dairy factories in Southern Hawke’s Bay were represented at a conference with Messrs Mason and Grant, business representatives of the Railway Department for North and South Island, when a request was made for a immediate reduction in freights on dairy produce, which were considered abnormally high in comparison to what is being obtained for butter-fat, and also teo heavy in comparison with charges on other commodities. The question was exhaustively discussed, the position of the Department being lucidly explained, and the railway representatives promised to make a sympathetic report to the General Manager of Railways. Mr A. McNicol, M.P., who arranged the conference, was also present, and tendered thanks to both parties for the interest shown in the matter.
