SHIPPING RINGS COMMISSION
[BY TELEGRAPH-'PRESS ASSOCIATION.]
Dunedin, Saturday. The Dunedin Chamber of Commerce Committee, at a meeting yesterday, dealt with a letter from the Royal Commission on Shipping Rings, London, asking for replies to a series of questions as to the nature and extent of any combination, agreement, or understanding among shipping companies carrying merchandise to or from New Zealand. It, was resolved to reply that the Chamber was not in a position to answer the questions, not being in possession of facts, and that in their opinion, the matter could only be dealt with locally by an appointment of a Commission empowered to compel evidence on oath and that, if the Royal Commission saw fit to move in that direction the Chamber would give the movement every support.
