Bakers Back Government In Price Regulation

INDUSTRY HAS COMPLETE PAITH Per Press Association. WELLINGTON, Last Night. A representative conference of the New Zealand Master Bakers’ Association held iu Wellington to-day issued the following statement: “It is the unanimous opinion of delegates that the price stabilisation plan brought into being under Government regulation dated February S, meets with the general approval of tbc industry. It will protect the consuming public with a quality loaf at a reasonable price, based on costs subject to the closest examination by officers of the Industries and Commerce Department. “The plan for stabilisation may take time to develop, but tbc industry has complete faith in its ultimate success and. confidence in the Minister of Industries and Commerce. luquiries from overseas show the keen interest that is being taken in this attempt to control equitable trading conditions in the wheat, flour and baking industries. “The Dominion may lead the way to a combination of these three industries common to so many countries, whereby the grower and farm labourer, the miller and mill worker, tho baker and bakery employee will enjoy that measure of prosperity due to all.”
