A Sydney conference of woolgrowers wool buyers ship owners and the Australian Overseas Transport Association ended without a decision. Woolgrowers spokesman Mr G Dalziel Kelly condemned current freight rates stating wool freight at £9 13s per ton is higher than meat and New Zealand rates, urging annual negotations reductions and removal of rebates.
