FREIGHTS ON PRODUCE.
ON TRAINS AND STEAMERS. PLEA FOR REDUCTION. By Telegraph.—Press Assn.—Copyright. Wellington, Last Night. A deputation from the National Dairy Association and the South Island Dairy Association waited on the Minister o£ Railways, placing before the Minister the matter of the greatly increased freight rates relating to dairy produce generally and to butter and cheese in particular, which rates, the deputation maintained, were 15 per cent, in excess of the pre-war rates. Mr. Guthrie promised to go very fully into the various points raised when the question of the tariff should come on for discussion. The members of the deputation subsequently met representatives of the various steamship companies in conference and the question of reduced marine freight rates was gone into. The matter will be further discussed.
