Bakers Seek Interim Injunction Over Bread Prices
The Baking Industry Employers Association plans to apply tomorrow for an interim injunction to stop the Government from enforcing a proclamation that fixes wholesale bread at 4 shillings per dozen and badge loaf over the counter. President H R Gough says the proclamation blocks the Federal Flour Tax Act’s extra halfpenny per loaf and leaves bakers selling at a loss. He notes the price matches January levels despite a flour tax rise of £242 6s a ton and a 5s per ton flour price increase.
