A MILK WAR
CUT IN PRICES. f per Press Association — Copyright, ) AUCKLAND. March 9. A decision to reduce the , price of loose milk to 3d a quart and of bottled milk to 4d a quart, in Order to compete with the newly-formed I armers’ and Vendors’ Association, was made at a meeting of milk vendors and farmers.
The spirit of the meeting was „suramed 1 up in the words of one vendor. “There has been a declaration of war,” ho said. “Wo cannot afford to sell milk at 3d a quart, but we must be prepared to do so- for an indefinite period, rather than lose/ our trade.” Mr Haslan said the action of the Farmers’ and Vendors’ Association had resulted in an almost impossible position. The alternatives were going out of business or fighting against the new position.
