A useful booklet on the service given by the Traders Defence Association, 37, St. Nicholas Street, Bristol, has just been published. The purpose of the Association is to advise its members of all applications for and of agreed charges granted by the Railway Rates Tribunal which are likely to affect the trade of members. If such charges be likely to operate to the detriment of the business of members the Association will negotiate for similar charges to be fixed in their favour.
It is also prepared to advise members upon difficulties in connection with the licensing of goods vehicles under the Road and Rail Traffic Act, 1933. For these benefits, the subscription is 10s. 6d. per annum.
The council consists of Col. R. B. Dutton (managing director, Thomas Ware and Sons, Ltd); Major N. S. M. Durnford (managing director, James Durnford and Son, Ltd.); Messrs. H. R. Hood Barrs (managing director, The Steel Barrel Co., Ltd. ; A. Warne Browne (Secretary, the National Federation of Furniture Trades); S. Neve (secretary, Wall Paper Merchants' Association of Great Britain, and National Federation of Builders' Merchants); and A. E. Simpson (chairman. National Federation of House Furnishers).
