PRICE OF BREAD
COMMENT AT CONFERENCE. Per Press Association. WANGANUI, Feb. 11. At the Bakers’ Conference, Mr W. H. Warren (South Island organiser) directed attention to a statement in a Wellington paper that one baker recalled an occasion when the late Mr W. F. Massey increased the price of flour to bakers without allowing an increase in the retail price of bread. The bakers had then gone to Mr Massey and told him, in effect, that if he insisted on that the Government would have to bake its own bread. There was a suggestion that the same position might arise again. Mr Cowan (Auckland) said the conference should take no notice of a statement by one particular baker. The conference decided to dissociate itself with such a statement.
