At a meeting of the Executive <-«f the j Wellington Licensed Victuallers' Association to-day the question was considered as to what steps should be taken to meet the increased charges imposed under the new award. The President, Mr J, Beveridge, interviewed, subsequently stated that it was decided that the increases imposed were more than the trade could bear, and hotel tariffs consequently, must be increased. For this purpose it was decided, to convene a general meeting of hotelkeepers in Wellington for Thursday afternoon next. ■ "The position," said Mr Beveridge, "is ' that for''the past ten or twelve years we have met the reduction of hours and incdeased (wages imposed by the court and the incidentally increased cost of living without making any increase in our tariffs; and now, particularly with the direct hint given by the judge, we feel that we shall be fully justified in passing these extra, charges on to the public." Asked as to what the increase in the tariff was likely to be, Mr Beveridge said that this could not be de- • finitely estimated; as the award would affect some hotels' more severely: than . .others, dnd a general average would •have to be struck. He wias confident in saying, however, that the increase in hotel tariffs all round would be not less than one shilling per day. CHAMBER Qf^ COMMERCE. MONTHLY MEETING. Mr A.
