GUARANTEED PRICE
-■ PRINCIPLE AFFIRMED • MOTION' TO : SUPPLIERS Affirmation of the principle of the guaranteed price was. given bj' the meeting, of : suppliers to the Te ArohacThames Valley Go-operative!: Dairy Company on Saturday. The attitude of the directors of tlie company towards the price was defined by the chairman, who said that it alTorded the suppliers a cer- < a.in measure of support.

Mr H. M. Corbett. When the motion was put to the meeting there was only.one dissentient.
