THE FREIGHT QUESTION.
A FARMERS' UNION PROTEST. STATE INTERFERENCE URGED. Press Association. PALMERSTON N., October 5. The Wellington Provincial Executive of the New Zealand Farmers' Union passed the following resolution :
"That this meeting emphatically protests against the unwarranted rise in the freights on wool, produce, etc. The monopoly in shipping matters is a serious menace to the producer. Although the farmers are much against Government interference in commercial matters, if such extortion is maintained, the producers must either urge the Government to deal with the matter or promote a new shipping company, and guarantee to ship wool, produce., etc., only by such company's steamers."
