SHIPPING FREIGHTS
TALK ABOUT A RING. (By Telernwli.—Press Aesocfatlon.) Auokland, April 8. Tho increased shipping freights sinoe the outbreak of war were reviewed by the council of the Chamber of Com-> merco to-day. ' The president, Mr. Robert Bums, said there was no doubt there was in New York a shipping ring which controlled outward freights and also had a large say in. Homeward Tates. This ring was an. exceedingly powerful one, and it behoved then to carefully consider whether or not they should begin to, organise a movement so that when peace was restored they would not be left, as they were now, absolutely . dependent on these rings. It was unanimously resolved': "That this Chamber invites the co-operation of all other Chambers of Commerce in New Zealand, and farmers' unions, to inaugurate a movement so that after the present war is over steps may be taken to prevent the shipper from being_ entirely at the meroy of the shipping ring as at present." .
