FIXATION OF FOODSTUFF PRICES RAILWAYMEN COMPLAIN Press Association WELLINGTON, Today. The cost of living, in so far as price fixation is concerned, was considered at a special meeting of railway officers. It was alleged that a concerted movement was afoot in one. particular trade ostensibly for the purpose of fixing the wholesale and retail prices. The following- resolution was carried unanimously:— “This meeting of railway officers views with alarm the action of merchants and grocers in combining for the purpose of fixing the prices of foodstuffs, which action must inevitably recoil to the grave disadvantage of the consumer. The meeting also regards such action, in view of the serious financial position of the Country, as being taken at a time when the public is quite unable to meet the slightest increase in the cost .of living.”
