A dr-putation from the Master Rakers’ Association waited on the Hon. -Mr Rhodes at Christchurch regarding the price of Hour and the recent increases. Mr J. McCombs, M.R.. introduced the deputation, and said that members of tlio Association had communicated with the Cost of Living Commission, hut none had been called to give evidence. All’ Boon, president of the Association, said that several increases in the price of (lour had occurred lately, and the bakers were now finding it impossible to supply bread at the present rates. Wheat had increased from 11s Ad to As, although it had been given out that there was plenty of wheat in the countrv to last the season. At this time last year flour was ft 10s a ton cheaper than now. On August I Hour advanced by Cl a ton. .lust before the war opened wheat was falling, but it jumped rapidly after war was declared. Moor had advanced by t-t since the war liroke > mil, and the bakers could see no reason for the increases. Mr Norton said that the bakers could not afford to pay the present price much longer. The millers were taking uj> a callous attitude. The Minister, in reply, said he would pla.ee the representations made before Mr Massey anti members of the Governmnt. He realised that it was the duty of the Government to sec that the public should not, be exploited, and it was for that . reason that the commission had been set up. He did not know why the commission did not receive witnesses from the Association, but he could only surmise that the representations to be made by Ibe Associat ion had already been covered elsewhere.
