RETAIL PRICES
Sir, —Although prices have been fixed by the Price Tribunal, retailers in many cases are charging 50 per cent, more than the fixed price—for instance, matches l|d, chewing gum lid. Whisky is still being sold at 1/- a nip instead of lOd. in most hotels. Mr Wise asked that complaints be sent to him. This has been done many times, but still the profiteers are going for their lives as usual. FAIR GO.
