1 OCAL manufacturers intended to .1-4 maintain free hauliers "at all costs," said Mr. A. E. Hewitt, who presided at a joint luncheon of the North Staffs Chamber of Commerce and the British Pottery Manufacturers' Association at Stoke-on-Trent last week. The chief guest was Maj.-Gen. Sir H. Reginald Kerr, Midland divisional manager of the Road Haulage Executive.
Mr. Hewitt appealed to the R.H.E. to play the game" with C-licensees and private operators. He told Sir Reginald that increasing road transport expenses were reflected in the price of exported pottery. Manufacturers .depended upon overseas markets and competition was increasing. There was
growing concern about continually rising transport costs.
Sir Reginald said that the R.H.E. was still in process of organization. It was highly "cost-conscious," and was doing its best to raise efficiency and reduce costs. The special needs of the Potteries district were fully appreciated and much time had been spent in analysing the position.
