Lang's Flank Attack in Bread War
COMMANDEERS ENEMY’S FLOUR
MILLERS ARE INCENSED
Received Thursday, 9.0 p.m. SYDNEY, Aug. 6,
The bread war took a dramatic turn to-day, when, after Cabinet had considered the situation arising out of the stoppage of flour supplies for bakeries co-operating with Shadier’s, Ltd., the holders oi the Government contract for the supply of dole or relief bread, a proclamation was issued, authorising the commandeering of supplies under the Flour Acquisition Act. Sixty-three trucks, containing nearly 1000 tons of flour awaiting shipment to the East, were subsequently seized at Darling Harbour. The millers are incensed, as the interruption of regular supplies to Java and other Eastern markets is likely to endanger future orders and benefit the Victorian millers, between whom and the New South Wales millers there is the keenest rivalry for this trade.
