SHORT-WEIGHT BREAD
CHRISTCHURCH BAKERS FINED PRICE-CUTTING COMPETITION [ Per Press Association.] CHRISTCHURCH. June 15. “From statements made by master makers it seems that the price-cutting competition going on in Christchurch has resolved itself into a struggle to see how much they can get out of a bag of flour.” This statement was made by an officer of the Labour Department at the Magistrate’s Court when three bakers were charged with delivering short-weight bread. The defendants were William Henry Beaumont, William Robert Jennings, and Louise Adam Woodward. Beaumont and Jennings were convicted and fined £4 and costs, but the charge against Woodward was dismissed.
