MEETING OF EXECUTIVE

Tlie Executive of the CanterburySheepowners' Union met yesterday.Present: Messrs L. A. Rutherford (pre-sident), L. R. C. Macfarkne, E. Lat-ter, E. Hay, B. Tripp, >'. D. Campbell,J. D. McCracken, H. D. Acland, G.Fullon, L. C. Gardiner, and H. Acton-Adams. Apologies for absence were re-ceived from Messrs M. Bethell, D. W.Westenra, G: 0. Rutherford, and W.Mackintosh.

A letter was received from the Hon.W, Nosworthy, Minister of Agriculture,promising that further action would betaken in connexion with the destructionof keas in the Mt. Cook area, and stat-ing that the Government subsidy of oswas being paid by the .Department inaddition to the amounts already paid bylocal bodies. .

In view of the increase id the num-bers of keas and the information thatthey were spreading northward alongthe main range, it was considered im-perative that a vigilant watch should

wrote in connexion witha proposal tliat the Government shouldguarantee a proportion of the value orfrozen meat while in store, with the ob-ject of assisting farmers to ship ontheir own account. Ho stated that tinsmatter was receiving attention, andthat he would endeavour to give effectto the proposals submitted.

A letter from Scales, Ltd., was read,drawing attention to their charteringof a saOing ship to convey wool to Lon-don, and pointing out the great ad-vantages of shipping by this method,having regard to present conditions.Appreciative reference was made to theenergy and initiative shown in arrang-ing. with Scales, Ltd., regarding thecharter of a boat. It was pointed outthat a saving of 20s per bale could boeffected in freight, in addition to alonger period of free storage} as com-pared with steamship conditions.

The president gave a full report onthe business done at the, meeting ofthe Produce Committee on the: lothinst., and stated, in connexion withshipping freights, that some arrange-ment should be agreed on at °pce, asotherwise the proaucers will suffer fur-ther loss oil account of shortage ofshipping. .

, , , ~

Messrs L. A. Rutherford, L. R.C.MacFarlane, E. Hay, Bernard Tripp,and the secretary were appointed dele*gates to the conference to be held inWellington to-day.

Mr Rutherford stated that the ques-tion of free competition for our pro-duce was of more vital importance toNew Zealand to-day'than it ever hadbeen, and he was .of opinion that some-thing' definite would nave to bo donein tliis connexion before long.

MrL. C. Gardiner moved: "That thisExecutive request the Government'toremove all restrictions on the purchaseand shipment of New Zealand meat,and that free.and open competition beallowed and encouraged within the Do-minion." .

The motion was seconded by. Mr B.Tripp, and carried.unanimously.. Referring to the present serious posi-tion which has arisen in .connexion withthe disposal of. wool, Mr Hay,'said thattlie onlv solution, to his mina, would befor tho Government to .continue- to pur-chase -wool, at a reduced rate.if neces-sary." - ■■■'. ■

Mr Tripp said that the whole troubleappeared to have arisen since tWArm-istice, and • was probably .traceable > tothe methods by; the ImperialGovernment when'realising our wool" atHome.

Mr t. C. Gardiner stated that he wasof the opinion that the delegates goingto Wellington should endeavour tor im-mediately fix up somethingdefinite'withthe object of either "the Wew Zealand,or' Imperial Government takingover .thepresent and future clips on siiiiilar linesto the action taken in connexion withtho South African wool, until the con-gestion of stocks is relieved. If thiscould be done, it would Help to stabilisethe very 6erious position the* industrywas facing to-day. Wool was practi-cally unsaleable, and some method ofdealing with the situatjpn should be de-vised. Under existing circumstanceshe was sure that~a very" large percent- 1age of the woolgrowers of the Dominionwould find it impossible to carry on, andhe urged that every endeavour shouldbe made to induce the Government tocomo to the assistance of the sheep-owners. Unless assistance was forth-comingIn somepractical Way; the sheep-owners wotild be faced with disaster.He was not making these assertions en-tirely on his own account, tjut lie hadbeen in communication with a largenumber of producers,, and they allagreed that , some action as outlined byhim was absolutely, necessary. /•Mr :Pultoh stated .that the-position

of the wool-growing industry.; should beplaced before the public, as it was notrealised bv people not'directly connect-ed with tne industry. •

. 'Refert-incito the-question, of .the dis-Eosl&l- of New Zealand produce on the

fit'ish' market, Mr.; .Tripp suggestedthat;, with' a view to placing: the posi-.tion mbre accurately before"tho"Britishpublic,- it would be a g6od idea if aPress ;Association, cable could <be Senttb' the. Loiidon '''Times;'.' ' placing theppsition' New ,Zealand is facing clearlyand accurately.

Mr Rutherford supported Mr Tripp'ssuggestion, aud it was decided'to bringthis matter, forward in Wellington.. .

Mr Hay said that it was more, thanever necessary thatNeV Zealand pro-ducers ' should have a man appointedto represent-theirf at; Home.-,- ■ r.'

Mr E. Latter said/that the : advice •this inan. woiild he, able to send, fromLondon as to the state of the markets,etc;, would be. irtvaluable to producers.,Mb,Tripp spoke, supporting'Mr Hay'ssuggestion, but., stated tjiat-as far ashe could gather the main obstacle was•the question of finance.

Mr N. D. Campbell stated that asmall levy on sheepowners throughouttho Dominion would cover the eyrjmftj,and he moved: "That*a levy, of os per1000 sheen be charged to sheepownersthroughout the: Dominion .to assist inthe payment of the salary to n pro-ducers', representative iti England." ■The motion was seconded by Mr B.Tripp, and carried unanimously.

SCOTT AND MARK TWAIN.

' Mr'.Maurice Hewlett, in the "DailyChronicle," defends Sir- Walter ,from the attacks of Mark 1 v.ain. TheAmerican author was fond of tilting atthe old chivalry and romance, but 'whathe-did'not see, and never did' or "couldsee," says Mr Hewlett, "was that withevery punch nc t'he 'enemy a repercussionflattened himself, and that when- SirWalter lay*pronefar-flatter than he andfar-more spent lay Mark Twain.' "There is a tale, I think iii 'The In-nocents Abroad,' where one of 'the.un-holiest gang that ever cavortM throughPalestine' was- shown a sticred--fiani-2which, he was told, had lieen..burningfor a-thousand years. The. cavorier wasready for that, as for most - things.'Well', I guess it's out now,' he said.And it was." • - ''

BOROUGH COUNCILS.RICCAKTON.

Tuesday night's meeting of the RiccartonBorough Council was attended bv Council-lors George (chairman), A. E. Steere, C. A.Rankin, T. J. Stokes, and H. W. Wiso.

Tho Deputy-Chief Inspector of Explosiveswrote that the Council was the appointedlocal body to issue licenses in connexionwith the storage of explosives.

Xhe CanterburyProgress League forwardeda booklet advertising Canterbury.It was resolved to thank the League, and

ask ihat threo dozen copies of the bookletshould be forwarded for distribution.

The Bank of New Zealand wrote that, aslocal bodies were responsible to the IncomeTax Department for the collection of tax onloan debentures, the bank proposed to de-duct 3s 6d in the £1 on all coupons as theybecame due, and remit to the local body con-cerned, which could pay direct to the De-partment.

Councillor George said that those who hadinvested in local loans bearing, say, 5 percent, interest, would now, if subject to in-come tax, h&vo 2s 6d in the £1 deducted.That eeemed a breach of contract.

Councillor Wise asked how local bodiesconld borrow money in the future, if the in-terest were limited to 6i per cent., and 2s 6din tho £1 of that deducted.

It was agreed to write to the holders oflocal debentures, explaining the position, andregretting that the deductions had to bemade, tho Council having no option in thematter.

Indignation was also expressed that thotax should bo put on local bodies' loansissued before the introduction of the non-tax. \ .It was agreed, further, that/the incoming

Council Bhoukl present, or euppdft, a- remiton the subject to the nest Municipal Con-ference.

The de-mand was fairly strong for serviceable linesof ewes, but anything in the way of failmg-mcrhth sheep met with an irregular market.There was little chenge in values for poodsorts of farmers' lines, good linessold exceptionally well, notably a draft of 813two-tooth Corriedales eold by D. Hulholland(Darfleld), which brought 335. Another goodline of two-tooth orossbreds made 26®. Buyersbecame fewer towarda the end of the salo,and prices suffered accordingly.

SWAT THAT FLY.I LECTURE BY DB. THOMPSON.I The house-fly peril was tho subject of alecture given by Dr. A. C. Thompson atlast night's meeting of the Christchurch Am-bulance Division. The house-fly, he eaid,was, by Teason of lU anatomy end rapidcevelopment, a moet potent disease-carrier.It could not breed- except under special con-ditions which existed mainly where decayedrefuse ci apy kind was kit; to stagnate. Thegerms of certain epidemics, such as cholera,typhus, and infantile diarrhoea,. and even ofccfisuinption were carried by the fly andthere was good reason to believe that it alsocarried the sparillart. of infantile paralysis.Dust-bins and rubbish heapa ware potentbreeding grounds, and it was therefore neces-sary that- they ehonld reoedve attention atka6t twice weekly. f j*o *peak of the house-fly as "harmless," said the lecturer, was adangerous fallacy. There should be & morevigorous campaign of extermination. H*mentioned several methods. but the best ofall) he eaid, was simply to follow up theold slogan, "Swat that fly!" He stated thattoo much faith was placed in certain wellknown diiinfectanta. his'opinion, etirbolioor kerosene was th? bc&t disinfectant to useagainst flies—the others really onlv attractedthem. *

On the motion of Superintendent ErioGray,*, vote of thania to the lecturer wasoamed 07 acclamation,

RETURN OF MR ANDREWFISHER.

UNKNOWNPOLITICAL QUANTITY.

(from own oobresjpojtdent.)SYDNEY, March 22,

' There \vas*a quaint scene last weekon the Melbourne railway station onthe arrival of the Adelaide express. MrAndrew Fisher, a former Prime Min-ister, and lately High v Commissioner,arrived from London, and arrayed onthe platform to meet him were theforemost representatives ov the rivtilpolitical parties. Fully half the CabinetMinisters (Nationalist) wore there;wliilo Mr Frank Tudor, leader of theLabour Opposition, with several of hishenchmen, was also well in the fore-ground.,

Mr Fisher was no sooner off the trainthan he was greeted'with enthusiasm,and as a colleague, by both parties.The Ministers tlemonsoratively shookhands with him; Mr Tudor called forthree cheers for him. The Ministers,on behalf of the country, expressedappreciation of his London services; MrTudor expressed gratification at thoreturn of "a great Labour statesman."

A Labour Government was in powerwhen early in the war Mr Fisher nand-ed over the reins to Mr Hughes andwent to London as High Commissioner.The leading Ministers then are still inpower, but as Nationalists, while La-bour is in Opposition. The questiontherefore was: Where is Mr Fisher go-ing, with; his former colleagues, or withLabour? 1 ,-*■

There is very little doubt that MrFisher is going with Labour, and thathe intends to re-enter politics in thiscountry. Although he was High Com-missioner to the Nationalist Govern-ment, it i-i well known that he foughtconsistently with Mr Hughes, and, inthe end, was practically ignored bythat autocratic little statesman. Asa political opponent, howevor, he is notto ,'be feared. He became a Labourleader by virtue of his Scotch cautionand his purely negative qualities. Heis in no sense brilliant—never wa9—andhas no striking personality. In thelast five years- he has become an oldman, and has lost much of his formervigour. Labour organisations every-where are gleefully hailing his returnto Federal politics, but thev are likelyto be disappointedwith the help he cangive them against the apparently in-vincible Mr Hughes.

If, asis possible, Mr Statham and his fellowNational - Progressive - and-Moderate-Labour colleagues ask what the oldPfifty wilt briflg itito the partnership,they will be told, so one must infer fromMt Sidej'd langiirtge, that the LiberalParty's contribution will be the good-Will ofaft old-established firm. How SirStathatfl will view this proposition isnot our business, but he is probably itswell aware as he Was until 1819 that thegoodwill of the derelict Liberal Party isworth exactly nothing atall. What theend of the negotiations may bo we can-fiet prophesy, but it seems to be in-evitable that the two parties of discon-tent Will cOtno together. And whenthey proceed to count their osseta inthe dhape of support in the electoratethey will find that they amount to no-thing useful. Parties are born, notmade, and in this country the generaldivision is between the extreme Labourvoters on the one aide,- and on the otherside tie moderate majority whichrealties that the Oflly effective defenceagainst revolutionary Labour is theftefortn Party. Iri the flteantitae MrStatham, if he has done nothing else,has placed ihd admirers of quaint situa-tions under an obligation to him byevoking Mr Sidey's statement. On the

water-logged raft of the old Party inthe mid-ocean of politics Mr Sidey haslighted a strangely-rigged craft, andrises to cry "Sail hot"

The Labour Machine at Work.

More than usual interest attaches inAustralia to the annual conference ofthe New South Wales branch of theAustralian Labour Party, now in ses-

sion in Sydney, for the reason thatit mav decide the question whether theLabour "machine" or the Labour Go-vernment shall .control the affairs ofthe State. The Australian LabourParty arrogates to itself the right todictate to the Government how it shallgovern; the Government, which wasput in offico by the A.L.P., of whichall the Ministers and all, or a verylarge proportion, of the Government'ssupporters in Parliament, are members,has lately defied the authority of itscreator, and refused to submit to itsdictation. "When Mr Storey, the Pre-mier, decided that it was necessary inthe financial interests of the Statethat he should proceed to London, heaho deemed it inadvisable that Parlia-ment should meet in his absence. TheA.L.P. did not agree with him, pos-sibly because it thought that it mighthave matters more its own way in asession from which the Premier, whohad on several occasions shown Signsof independence, was absent, thanif ho were in his place in>the House. A stubborn contesttook plade between the Parlia-mentary Labour Party and the A.L.Pover this question, and in the end theGovernment won. Mr Storey went toEngland, and before leaving, secured, itis stated; a personal pledge from hiscolleagues and the members of hisparty, that they would do nothing tointerfere with the harmony of adminis-tration in his absence. For their actionin supporting Mr Storey in this matterthc'se members of the Labour Partyin Parliament are now invited to at-tend the present Conference and ex-plain why they flouted the authority ofthe A.L.P. executive. Those who sub-mit to be thus "carpeted" may escapefurther consequences by promising notto bo offend again; those who declineto recognise their master's voice, willprobably find it difficult to securenomination as members of the Party atthe next general elections. So far anthe present executive of the New SouthWales branch of the A.L.P. Is cbhbern-ed, its efforts will be devoted to bring-ing the Parliamentary Party once moreto heel, in the approved mariner of theLabour 1 machine in Australia and else-where. But within the ranks of theparty shere is dissension which may, ifit extends, work for the bfetifefit of theGovernment. The present execiitivorepresents the Australian Workers'tJiiibh; Opposed to it are the LabourLeagues and unions who favour theMinistry. A bitter fight woe exactedto take place over the election of thenew executive, and ifJihe now dominantA.W.U section secures a renewal ofpower, its success will be regarded as avote of no-confidence in the Govern-ment by the party that put it inpower, and Mr Storey will have to facestormy Wbather when he returns. Onthe other hand, if the opponents of theA.W.U. succeed in electing the execu-tive, or sbciire & majority bit itj a splitin the ranks of Labour may occurwhich Way lead to interesting develop-ments.

The nSwS Of the death of JohnBurroughs, the veteran Americannattittilistj will be received with regretby at ieast some lovers of Nature inNew Zealand. He Was liot Only a keenobserve of wild life# hut A Writer ofgreat charm; We do not know towhat extent his boofea are read in thel>omiriioit—hd began to write more thanfifty years ago, And has more thantwenty books to his credit, besides manvcontributions to magazinos. But thosawho do not know how deli#tfully hecould Write of What he SaW have yet to.experience a rafe pleasure. Manyyears ago, in the early days of the cheapgtiod books which are now bo sadly un-obtainable, an Edinburgh publisher is-sued ft little squat paper-covered edi-tion of the best that Burroughs had yetWritteft. These were. "Winter Hun-shine,'' "fords and Poets," "WakeRobin,'* '"Locusts and Wild H6hey,"and "Fresfit Fields." There wasnot, to any lovet of outdoors, offishing, and of wild lifer, a dull page inthe whole half-dozen j there were, onthe Other hand, many dhapterS whichbear re-reading over and over again.Nothing that he wfote in later years,and he wrote much that was good, sur-passed the books we have mentioned.Burroughs was oh 6 of tjho most retir-ing of inert; but his simple, wholesomemessage influenced maiy lives fof good.

Plats for til© expedition to MounsEverest, which is being jointly organ-ised by the Royai Geographical Societyflfld the Alpine Clttb—-the ftfrmef bein«responsible for the scientific side andthe latter for tlhe actual ascent—wordbeing completed wheft the last riiail leftEngland. The proposal is to cross intoTibet to Kampa Dsong, and then pro-ceed by way of the Tingri Maidan tothe north of the Everest group, andfcom hSro to tilako an attempt to climbtho mountain by the nortihern Slopes.One of the most important tasks for thereconnoitring party will be to fitid thoeasiest way from Kflmpa Dzong andOver the Tingri to the foot of MountEverest. At present practically nothingis ktiovrri about Everest. No white manhas been within forty or fifty miles ofit, and all the district round it isSpeculative; TBfie reconnoitring expe-dition wiU not have much to do withthe climbing of the mountain. Theywill be charged with the responsibilityof finding the way. Next year therowill be a completely-equipped climbingparty, but so great are the difficultiesto b<j encountered that it is quite pos-sible that several expeditions will haveto bo sent before the top of Everest,£9,000 feet above sea level, ie reached.

Sir Francis Ytranghusband, the presi-dent of the Geographical Society, says,in connexion with the adventure:"What h the use of climbing this high-est mountain? No uso at all: no moreuse than kicking a football about, ordancing, or playing on tho piano, orwriting a poem, or painting a picture.

. . . Climbing Mount Everest will notput a pound into anyone's pocket. Itwill take a good many pounds out ofpeople's pockets." After recountingthe difficulties and dangers to be faced,and the great amount of preparation tobe made—"all without the prospect ofmaking a single penny"—Sir Francisconcludes: "But if there is no use*there is unquestionable good in climb-ing Mount Everest. The accomplish-ment of such a feat will elevate thehuman spirit. It will give men—andespecially we geographers—a feelingthat we are really gelling the upperhand on the earth; that we are acquir-ing a true mastery of our surroundings.If a man stands on earth's highest sum-mit he will have an increased pride andconfidence in himself in his strugglefor ascendancy over matter. This isthe incalculable frood which the ascentof Mount Everest will confer."

A decision has at last been reachedas to the provision of efficient means oftransportation between "the east andwest banks of the Suez Canal at Kan-tara. Before the war the only meansof communication wa? by ferry, but inorder to facilitate operations againstthe Turks a wooden swing-bridgo wasbuilt. This ultimately proved toosmall and cumbersome, and 'twas replaced by the il-on bridgewhich New Zealand soldiers whofought against the Turks havegood cause to remember. On the cessa-tion of hostilities, however, the SuezCanal Company pointed out that theyhad ohly allowed the bridge and thevarious camps and dumps to be erectedon the express condition that once thenecessity had disappeared the statusquo should be restored, and they re-fused to consider any suggestion thatthe bridge should remain. Further-more, their experts hold that thebridge is not only an obsta.de in theCanal, but a danger to owingto the narrowness of the opening andthe increase in size of the ships pass>-ig through. The bridge is now beingdemolished, and the ferry service is tobe employed until such time as a tunnelunder the Canal can be constructed.

"We have now in NeW Zealand aParliament of really earnest men,'.' saidMr E. J. Howard, M.P., at the socialheld at Spreydon last,night to cele-brate the entering of Spreydon into thecity. "The spirit in Parliament to-dayis so good that, while we may differ,therS is not a snob in the House.Though we may differ on the floor ofthe HoiiSe! those differences are notCarried into the lobby. Much as I maydiffer in opinion from the rest of theHouse, I can safely say that the menin Parliament now are absolutely cleanmen. We have as cleart a Parliamentas can be found in any part of, theworld to-day."

About 18 months ago a number ofunsigned' £1 notes on the NationalBank of New Zealand were stolen .inWellington. On Tuesday it was dis-covered that some were peiiig passedinto the totalisator at.Riccarton, thenotes bearing forced signatures. .Theassistance of the local detective forceva'j procured, and it was found thatat least 21 of tho spiirious notes hadbeen operated on. The detectives, aswell as several constables iil plainclothes, were on the alert at the Ad-dington trotting grounds yesterday,butno attempt was made to pass any ofthe notes. Two persons who presentedwhat appeared, to be doubtful poundnotes were detained ahd questioned bytotalisator officials(but they were foundto have ho connexion with the fraud.

"I think eight, at the outside, well-organised hospital boards would effi-ciently carry out all the hospital worknecessary in New Zealand," said MrW. S. "Wharton, secretary of tile NorthCanterbury Hospital and CharitableAid Board, when speaking at the Sprey-don Borough Council's social last night."No_ one can deny that some of tho Ihospital districts now in New Zealandmaintain nothing more than old men'shomes, taking in people who need aminimum of medical attention, but whoneed merely the attention necessary to !old age. If tlie bodies I speak of were !linked Up, 1 thilik all the necessary jwork would be done efficiently. At pre- Isent the smaller ' boards are almost \wholly dependent on the big body that jcontrols the base hospital. They bleed :those hospitals for nurses, expenditure,and practically everything elsei"- J

"During the whole of my experiencewith the Christchurch City Council, 1can safely say that I have never seen anysuspicion of any such thing as 'graft,' "said the Town Clerk of Christchurch,Mr H. R. Smith, at the social gather-ing held last evening to signalise thejoining up of Spreydon with .the city."Mr Howard has stated to-nisht thatthe Parliament of New Zealand is cleanI cah add to that, that in Christchurchwe have an absolutely clean City Coun-cil."

"As a native of/ Christchurch, andone who has travelled a little bit inAustralasia, I can safely say thatChristchurch is as fine a citvand asclean a city as can be found in Aus-tralasia." said Cr. J.

"I saw in the paper recently that itwas alleged that tho Government onlybought land from its friends," fertid MrH. D. M. Haszard, retiring Commis-sioner of Crown Lttrtds, at yesterday'spresentation. "I woiild emphaticallystate that in Canterbury the tGovern-ment in no way has tried to influencepurchases by the Land Board."

CANTERBURYLAND BOARD.

RETIREMENT OF COMMISSIONER.

A presentation of a piece of plate wasmade to Jlr.H. D. M. Hasaard, retiringCommissioner of Crown Lands for Can-terbury, by the members of the Can-terbury Land Board and the staffs ofthe several divisions of tjje Lands De-partment, in the Provincial CouncilChamber, yesterday afternoon.

Mr Robert Macaulay (Temuka), seniormember of the Land Board, who pie-sided and made the presentation, ex-pressed the regret that the membersof the Land Board felt at losing MrHasznrd. Sir Ilaszard had alwaysdone his best in his work, and whenthe results came to be judged Can-terbury would not be last on the list.

Mr T. Gee, another member *of theLand B.oard, endorsed Mr Macaulavsremarks, and paid a tribute to MrHaszard's work on behalf of the sol-dier settlers, for whom ho had donemuch. Their guest had exercised agreat influence on the business of theLand Purchase Board, and ho had donehis work well. Canterbury had beenfortunate in her Commissioners ofCrown Lands, the only drawback beingthat all the Commissioners came toCanterbury just before they were duoto retire.

Mr R. Leckie, Receiver of LandRevenue, said that the staff felt thatthey could not have had a better chiefthan Mr Haszard. They were sorry hewas going, and felt that they Were los-ing a friend. He took the opportunityof welcoming Mr C. H. Bullard, thenew Commissioner, whom he had hearddescribed as a "white man."

Mr T. M. Charters, District Repatri-ation Officer, said that as far as thereturned men wefe concerned, they hada friend in Mr Haszard, who had doneeverything possible for them. _ MrHaszard had striven from beginning toend to do the best he could on belialtof the returned men.

Mr H. G. Ell, .Inspector of ScenicReserves. Mr C. H. Bridge, presidentof the Canterbury Centre of the NewZealand Institute of Surveyors, Mr W.C. Leversedge. land transfer draughts-man, Mr D. Stowell, Mr W. Cunning-ham (members of Land PurchaseBoard), and Mi 1 C. W. Nalder, DistrictLand Registrar, also spoke.

In acknowledging the presentationand felicitbus remarks, Mr Haszardsaid that his parting with the Depart-ment came as a wrench. His work hadalways beeti greatly assisted by theefficiency of the members of the LandBoard, and that of his loyal staff. Hiswork in connexion, with soldier settle-ment had brought hiiii ihto toilch_ withthe legal profession, with whom his re-lations had always been of the best.The same also applied to the privatesurveyors and the Press of the city. Hewould bo leaving Christchurch for somelittle, time to travel, but would returnlater, to settle down.

Afternoon tea was provided, and thefunction concluded with the singing of"For He's a jolly Good Follow" andthree cheers for Mr Hasznrd.

After leaving school Mr Haszard com-menced woi'k with a civil engineer inAuckland in 1879, fthd joined the Pur-vey Department as a Cadet in 1880,pervlh.fi! thfee yeiirs surveying in tilt;King Country. In 1887 he went ns as-sistant to the . then Surveyor-Generalto anii6x the Kermtidec Islands, andlater oh was deputed to survey theCook ftnd Savage Islands in the tropics.At this time 1»e was elected a Fellowof the Rdyiil Geographical Society..

NEW POLITICAL PARTYMB T. K. STDEY'S ATTITUDE,

(SPECIAL TO "the rRESS."IDUNEDIN, March 30.

Mr T. K. Sidey, M.P., interviewedon the new party, pointed out that theaims and aspirations of the- party, asfar as they had been expressed, joinedwith those of the Liberal Party, which,among other things, stood for the re-cognition of the human element inlegislation, for helping the weak, forthe extension of State functionswherever necessary, to effectively con-trol monopolies or to conserve natural

resources for the. prevention of landaggregation, for tho removal of ex-tremes of wealth wherever it could bodon© without diminishing the incentiveto produce, arid for the accomplish-ment of its objects by constitutionalmeans. The Liberal Party at presentoccupied a similar position between twoextremes, and it was under the LilxwuParty that. New Zealand had led theworld in progressive legislation, as men-tioned In' Mr Statham. It was an his-torical party, with great traditions, andit was to it that the workers owed theirpolitical emancioation in this country.'though tho Liberal Party was reducedin numbers in tho House, largelythrough t.he splitting of votes at tholast elections, Liberal sentiment wasstill strong in the country, and it onlyawaited a suitable opportunity in whichto give itself adequate expression. Theby-elections since the last general elec-tions showed that it was still a forcein the cOuntfjr.

"There is no room," said Mr Sidoy,"for two parties so nearly approximat-ing in 'their objects, and if the nowparty means business, tis lnjs been sug-gested, it and tho Liberal Pnrtv mustjoin forces in furtherance of their com-mon aim's."

SPREYDON'S AMALGAMATION.As a borough, Spreydon ceaeea taS 1exist to-day, and to-morrow it will

come part of Greater Christchurch, Tq.lmark the passing of the borough*, a fsocial was held last night in a marqueeerected in the grounds of the BorougK.,Council Chambers. Tho Mayor <tfiiSpreydon, Mr A. Mauhiro, presided otetjin largo attendance, which included, the yMayor of Christchurch (Dr. Thacker), »'

sewral members of the City Council, ,

members of the Spreydon Borough >

Council, the Drainage Hoard, the ilifti ipital Board, the Tramway Board, aud i'various other 'local bodies. A verypleasant evening ensued, and althoughthere were 110 musical items, the vori-fous speeches, any dryness in which was 1!amply relieved by the refreshment pro-.ivided, were all of an interesting nature®

Tlu> Mayor of Christchurch proposed £

the toast of tho "Spreydon Council.'' ®

That Council, said Dr. Thacker, which.'*was about to "pass west," had dimo{|much good. He-hoped that tho anial-.*gamation of the borough with tlio City>j|would mark an era of prosperity. From |the point of view of the welfare of the,!'community the joining up of tlio utility;??and services of tho borougjis with those-5of the City was a good thing. Spreydon /

was a lino borough, and one the pro's- 5pcrity of which had ifo eud in sight. 1Tho amalgamation would undoubtedlybe of mutual benefit to Spreydon andtho City. 111 conclusfon, Dr. ThackercongratulatxM.l Mr Manhire on the suc-cess of his borough, ;uul espressod thohope that Mr Mauhiro would soon bo a 4prominent'figure in City politics. .

In responding to tho toast, Mr Mail- i|hire expressed tho opinion that Sprejr-don, during its cai\er as a borough,had done well, and it was certainly 1joining up with probably the finest city ?||

in tho Dominion. Spreydon tequired 1varidus benefits, and no doubt it would Jreceive a very fair deal from the City 1Council. Ono thing that was desired.Jwas that the Spreydon Council Chart* :|hers should be left to tho .district aa-ma reading-room, and another thing was'Jthat the thirteen acres adjoining tho ICouncil should bo secured as a reciva- §tion ground for the district. |

Mr, Manhire then proposed the toast. %

of the "Christchurch City Council," to Iwhich Dr. Thacker replied, and in doing ?

so he said that ho saw 110 reason why |tho library hnd the park should not ln> fsecured for Spreydon, with a tram ishelter near them when the tramway |was extended to tho district. Dr. ;

Thacker also expressed tho wish that®Spreydon would soon have a good water®supply. In welcoming Spreydon toMthe City, the Mayor suggested thatiSSpreydon should now go "across thcis|road" and get Ricoarton into tho CityiM

O. J. W. Beanland, also responding'-to the toast, said that, in histho joining up of Spreydon with, th&?|City was ono of the finest things thai||had ever happened, for both Spreydoh?|and tho City. In takingover, tho City, of course, becamo re-f£jsponsible for the upkeep of thetrict, but as far as roads, for instance, Iwero concerned, there was little but up-1keep to face. Tho roads in Spreydon |were splendidly formed, and in splcn-'j-did condition. Ho was certain that >gnothittg but good Would result from, tlio "jsAmalgamation. The borough wnaijjShanding valuable assets to the City, and ,Jswas going to receive benefits in return,Rpreydott would always be assured of a .(j"square deal" from the City, and both 1 *

the borough and the City would reap agood Ijarvestirdifi the joining up. ' VClt. It. A. Fiesher also responded to.rJitho toftst, arid, in the course of hisrt- \

marks, said tnf|t thd health of Sprey- ,

dnti should bo guarded by the amalga- j'HfA'CiSn; in tbrtt the district would now jbo dssufed of ft good sanitation system- , zSpfej'don (vas sure of a fair deal at ■',§the hands of the City Council. • &

Crs. A. Williams, F. Bvtrgoyfte, B.fl.Andrews, H. T. Armstrong, E. E. Lang- Jley, and O. P. Agar als6 replied to the yt6ast. M

Cr. H. Worrall, of the Spreydon Bpr-®ough Council, proposed tho toast, of||"Tho Parliament of New Zealand." In j|Coupling the to;ist with the name of Mr:j|K. J. Howard, Mr Worrall said that Jin Mr Howard Spreydori had. a very#

live, able, and courteous member. jMr E. J. Hfiward, M.P., irt Mspond-1

SINN FEIN CAMPAIGN.

THE MALLOW SHOOTINGS,

(By Cab]©—Press Association—Copyright.)(Australian and N.Z. Cable Association.)

LONDON. March 29.The authorities are aware that a.

special gang of Sinn Feiners has arrivedin England to carry out an intensifiedarson campaign. It is understood thatthe gang is using motor-cars andraotor-vans, and is employing manydisguises. Stringent precautions havebeen taken to rjuard public buildings.

Captain Lees, who was employed atDublin Castle, was shot dead in Drurystreet. Ho was in mufti, and waswalking to the Castle. Three or fourmen surrounded him and fired severalshots at point-blank range. The assas-sins escaped.

Armed men removed Good, an ex-Army man, who won the Military Crossduring the war, from his trap atBarrvshall, Cork, and shot him 'dead.A note was attached to the clothing,reading: "Convicted spies and inform-ers, beware!'' Good's father was shotdead on March 10th.

The Court of Enquiry into the Mal-low shooting found tnat the railwaymenwere not inhumanely treated or firedon as alleged.

The remainder of the allegationsmade in the House of Commons weronot borne out bv the evidence.

[The Mallow affair was an outcomeof a Sinn Fein attack on Captain King,a county inspector of Constabulary.Captain King was critically wounded,and his wife shot dead, at Mallow rail-way station on the night of January31st, while awaitinn; the mail trainfrom Cork. The police raided the rail-way station, killed two of the assail-ants, and wounded eight railway em-ployees. The Irish railwaymen's versionof the affair declared tnat the Blackand Tans rounded up the station staff,marched them into the road, told themto run for their livcra, and fired as theyran, killing two. Sixteen others es-caped on a locomotivo. In the Houseof Commons Mr J. H. Thomas raisedthe question of the Mallow shootings,and detailed the results of enquiriesbv a trade union delegate, showing thatthe Crown forces wero highly blame-worthy. _ The recital was punctuatedwith cries of "Shame!" from theLabourites. Mr Thomas said that afterMrs King was shot the police camo tothe station and said that if the womandied 15, railwaymen would be shot.Four railwaymen who were capturedwere marched to barracks, where they

[ were beaten with fists and revolvers,[ and told to carry tho body of ,thewoman from a ifiilitary motor to a cell.When they were released next morning,the railwaymen were told to run. Theydid so, and throe out of the four wereshot dead.]

ST. JOSEPH'S CONVENT FIRE.STATEMENT BY BI8HO? GLEAHf.

A Meeting was, held at Auckland onSunday afternoon to the re-building'of Si. Joseph's Convent, whichwas destroyed by fire last Week. Theattendance was estimated at 8000 peo-ple. The sum of £3554 was subscribedtowards the rebuilding fund.

Dr. H. M< -Clertry, Roman CatholicBishop Of Auckland, in a Speech, fol-lowed up a series of facts regarding thetire, ahd drew the conclusion that itwas an incendiary one. Ifurther in-vestigations ,were now proceeding,, anduntil they had been completed he wasunwilling to say anything of a definitenature. However, he assured the gath-ering that if a tiino <#me when his dutywas to speak, ha would do so in plainaild open terms.

According to the Auckland N Star,On Monday Dr. Clenry made the fol»lowing statement lor publication !■«-

Inview Of all theCircumstances of the case,I have felt it my duty to direct the at*tention of the Minister Of Justice tothe dangers arising from these inflam-matory attacks upon the consecratedflower and gloir of our Catholic woman*hood, and requesting adequate policeprotection.

SHOOTING OF PERCYBROOKFIELD.

THE IRONY OP TATE.

(fRdM OTfll OWN CORRESPONDENT.)SYDNEY, March 22,

It ia the irony of fate that PercyBrooMeld, tie big and handsome Bol-shevik member of tho New South WalesParliament should have been fatallyshot by one of the Russian extremistswhom ho, in season and out, alwaysdefended. Mr Brookfield was thorough-ly and severely cursed by most of thepeople who did not know him; whileeveryone who did know him, whethera political opponent of not, loved him.He was one of the most remarkablefigures in Parliament in this country.He intensely hated all the things whichhe regardod as tyranny, and' ho sawtyranny everywhere. He denouncedthe things he hated in unmeasuredterms, and his extreme languagebrought him Constantly into conflictwith the law. Ho had been prosecuted,fined, and even gaoled times withoutnumber. Yet—such Wfire his personal(Juftlitiea—his fines were often paid byhis bitterest political opponents.

Ho had a biting tongue, a remark-abl6 sense of humour, and a goodtemper. This combination of qualitieshad this effect—that the men whom hesavagely attacked in debate loved himthe more for it. Only a fortnight ago,addressing the unemployed in Sydney,Bfookfield made a most remarkablospeech. "You and J*ouf children arehungry." he 'said, "There in the shops,19 tin abundance of good food. Go andtake it—fight for it, if necessary. Thatis not stealing, in the circumstances."Everyone deplored speech, yet noone suggested the prosecution' offifook field. The explanation was thateveryone who knew nim, knew that theman, however mistaken his ideas, was'sincerely and passionately in earnest,find that he

twould personally suffer

anything in justification of his ideasand ideals. He has been called—byvirtue. of his complete unselfishness—-"the only genuineLabour Wan in Par-liament/' Most politicians are self-seeker's. No one eould accuse Brook*field of that.

He was the strong attd fearless tvpeof man who would do just the thingthat OOst him his life—rush an armedtiirtdftiati Who Was trying to murder in-offensive people. His tragic death hascaused ft most painful shock to the tensof thousands whose champion he wasp-as well as to thousands of others whodenounced him for his pro-Bolshevikand pto-I.W.W. activities, and fof hisbitter opposition to the war and toconscription.

COMMERCIAL.PRICE OF WHEAT.

DISCUSSION AT TIMABU.

(special to "the press.")TDIARU, March 30.

At a meeting of tlu» South Canter-bury executive of the Fanners' Unionto-day, Mr J. Bitchener, M.P., presid-ing, the prico of wheat was again dis-cussed.

The Temuka, Pleasant Point, andFairlie branches wrote that they werewilling to accept tho Government'soffer. The Timaru branch did not ap-prove of the offer (as they considered ita broach of faiJi), .and tho St. Andrewsbi anch asked the opinion of th-> <jxecu-live as to whether legal opinion shouldi;e sought with a view to compelling.thoGovernment to observe the terms oftheir contract.

The Minister of Agriculture wrote, mi'6ply to the South Canterbury execu-tive's letter, in which they declined toaccept the Government's offer for this.season's wh;at, and requesting tho Go-vernment to carry out thoir contract,stating that he was quite in tho darkas to how it was considered the Govern-ment did not carry out their contract.If they had read his published state-ment on th'o subject he thought theywould agree that the Government hadcarried out their contract, both in theletter and tho spirit.

Considerable discussion took place onthis subject on lines similar to discus-sions previously reported.

Mr C. N. Orbell said there could bono use in discussing the matter further.What they shoidd turn their attentionto was the securing of a very definiteacre ment for next season; one aboutwhich there would be no ambiguity andin which there would bo no loophole forescape. (Hear, hear.)

Mr Patterson said he would like thefcelina; of th> executive on the sugges-tion from the St. Andrews branch thatle?al opinion should bo sought as towhether it would bo possible to compelthe Government to keop to their con-tract. Usually when two parties en-tered into a written agreement it couldbe legally enforced, though he did notknow whether it would be prudent, inthis ease'to try to enforce it. Themajority of wheat-growers were notsatisfied with Mr Nos worthy'a- inter-pretation of the agreement.

Mr Buckley said the Union shouldnot .allow themselves to be done out oftheir rights every tirao. If they didthey would lose prestige. Every timethey sent deleffit.s to a conference theygot "lambed down," either by the Go-vernment or by tho North Canterburydelegates. The trouble was that far-mers did not act in unison. At thepresent time they had tho St.. Andrews

| branch wanting to prosecute the Go-vernment and the Pleasant Pointbranch wanting to accept things astliey were, so as not to cmbajrass MrMnssey.

Mr C. N. Orbell: Oh, well, we don'twant to see him killed. He d the bestman the farmers have had' for many along day.

Mr Copeland said that Mr Nosworthyhad given th;>m a good, explanation,and there was nothing more to do.

Mr Orbell proposed and Mr Copelandseconded, that further discussion onthis year's prices be stopped,, and thatthe executive confine their efforts tosecuring, a binding contract for nextyear.

Mr Trotter said the Government, hadbroken their contract, but it was quite,useless to take tiny action against them.[!<• approved of tho motion.

Tho motion-was then put and-carried..With regard be- noxt year's wheat, the

chairman said he thought they shouldask the Government to take the wholecrop, and not merely buy up to Octo-ber as set out in' the agreement,

Mr Drinnan said that, every fannerwas sou-inn; wheat this year, and, givena favourable season, tne surplus wasgoing to be the trouble.

On the motion of Messrs. Pattersonand Steven, it was decided "That theGovernment be asked to take over allsurplus milling wheat after October31st as well as the wheat threshed upto that time."

Th? motion was carried unanimoaaly.Sir Jtimes Wilson, president of the

Board of Agriculture, telegraphed tliafcin view of the present position regard-ing markets for wool, meat, and otherproduce, the nccumulat;>d stocks of wooland freight rates for meat. flic authori-ties considered it desirable that a re-presentative meeting of producersshould b« held to discuss the bestmethod to be adopted. The meetingwould be held in Wellington on March31st. The South Canterbury executivewore invited to appoint a representa-tive to attend the meeting.

It was decided that as there was notime to send a delegate (bh:> letter wasonly received the previous day), the fol-lowing motion should be sent to theconference:~"We protest against anyfreight contract being entered into formore than one year, and consider thatfreight rates should be reduced to the1913-14 level."

Mr Arthur Morton, presi-dent of tho National Dairy Association,was in the chair.

The point was stressed that tho sup-pliers of milk for butter had a right toexpect fail- terms by comparison withthe returns available from milk suppliedfor other purposes. It waa mentionedthat drri<l milk factories Were buyingmilk on a basis equivalent to 2s D|d perlb of butter-fat. The present Londonprice of cheese wob equivalentJto-3g 6dper lb of butter-fat at the New Zea-land factory. Th;> Wellington CityCouncil was making contracts for win-ter milk at 2s per gallon, which wasequivalent to 43 net per lb of butter-fat at the factory. Reference wasmade to tho widespread misunderstand-ing of tho subsidy paid by th.' Govern-ment for the purpose of enabling con-sumers to buy butter during the sum-mer months at sixpence per pound be-low tho market value. It was men-tioned that if thy Government had noteased the price for consumers by acharge on tho general taxpayers, theretail price would have been 2s 9d or2s lOd. The cessation of the subsidymeant that the consumers would nothave this saving of sixpence as a bonusfrom the Consolidated Fund,

The feeling of tho meeting Was thatit would meet the public half-way. Thx>producers would take the unprecedentedcourse of accepting loss for winter but*ter than for summer butter, but as theconsumers would be no longer receivingthe benefit of a subsidy, the retail pricowould be higher in winter than insummer.

it was resolved unanimously that anequitable basis of price for butter asfrom April Ist would bo the OU'» adopt-ed recently by a representative meetingof Auckland producers, namely, 2a 2Ja

per lb in bulk at the factories, or freeon board or five on rail, and '2s 4Jd forpats, with id discount for cash. Thofixing of tile same price for bulk butterfree on rail or free on board as at thofactory was to facilitate n uniform re-tail prico of approximately 2s 6dthroughout tho Dominion

It was explained that with the cassa-tion of tho subsidy scheme the prico of2s 2Jd at tho factory meant a drop of3d for the producer. It was estimatedthat the increase in cost of productionfor winter would b> about 25 per cent.,equivalent to a&out 6d per lb, and thoincreased charges for storage and inter-est would add another permy. Thus at

T?s 2 Jjd the production for winter wouldf.how a total drop of lOd per lb by com-parison with the production of summer.

Bri'f reference was rnado to the Lon-don parity question raised in variouspublished

*

reports, but the opinion ofthe meeting w.na that tft« Lon-lon paritywas not a factor at this timo of theyear, when the export season _ hadclosed. The wholv question at issuewas the production of butter as fromApril Ist for the local market, and abasis reasonable to both the producerand tho consumer.

METROPOLITANTROTTING CLUB.

EASTER MEETING.

CONCLUDING DAT.

Weather conditions were perfect forthe conclusion of the New ZealandMetropolitan Trotting Club's AutumnMeeting at Addington yesterday, andthe crowd, though not nearly so largeas on the opening day, was neverthelessa very big one. The track was in veryfine order, and the liberal use of waterprevented any great inconvenience fromthe rising dust. Mr A. I. Rattray, theclub's secretary, had matters moving

with a swing all day, and there couldhe np complaints so far as the arrange-ments were concerned. The racing pro-vided Wis of the best, and it is doubt-ful if any better contests have beenwitnessed at Addington. Those pre-sent did not enjoy any more than aver-age luck in the selection of winners,yet the totalisator staff was kept ex-tremely busy, for the sum of £57,457was put through the machine duringthe day, as against £52,944 10s on thecorresponding day last year. The grandtotal for the meeting was £117,172 10s,as against £108,237 10s at the Au-tumn Meeting twelve months ago.

Though there were only four startersin the Champion Stakes, a greatamount of interest was taken in therace, and the finish was one worthy ofsuch an event. The public supportedChilde Pointer in no uncertain man-ner. and Mr H. F. Nicoll's fine fillyduly won after a gruelling contest withTaraire and Copa de Oro Junr. Thelast-pamed had none the best of therunning, otherwise he would have givenstill more trouble to the winner. MissPatty won the Harvest Handicap ingood style, and stayed on better thanPeter McMillan. Marie Tempest show-ed a fine turn of speed when she beatthirteen others in the Oxford Handicap,running the mile in 2min Usee. LoganQueen paced resolutely in the Hals-well Handicap, and for a three-year-old gave a very impressive display. Thesouthern-owned Silver Shoe started

' from the back mark in the April Han-dicap, and wore the field down' aftergiving a solid display of pacing. TheTrotting Handicap jproduced a very finecontest,«and in finishing third in 4min28 2-ssec Reta Peter put up a great per-formance. The winner, Effie Bingen,well driven •by J. McLennan, wentsteadily all through, and just lastedlong enough to win from the fast-finish-ing Whisht and Reta Peter. Ouimetpaid a good double-figure dividend whenhe won the President's Handicap, andPartner treated his backers in liberalfashion .when he annexed the High-classHandicap after a great race.

SECONi) DAY'S FKOCZF.DTNttS,

Tho nnnnal conference of the New-

Zealand Federation of -Master l,"'nU'rs •

Decorators', and Sign-.*i :.ei» -s>o"'l'

tion resumed yesterday u'nlcr -l.e

Chairmanship of Mr I>. J<ee, present.Working Rules.

Mr T M Collins (Christehureh) «mb-

mi'tfcd a'remit dealing with wnrk.ng

rules, and said that in endeavouring toframe such rules he had louud himself„p against ft difficnlt Pathologicalproblem; imt they all recognised thenecessity for removing conditions that

led to mutual distrust, and replacingthorn by conditions that v.ouid lead to

, confidence and harmony. The presentforking rules were 25 yenri old, andhad served their purpose. Jrt England)provision had bcuii made for consuitn-tion between employers and employee:;;and it was plain that they could notallow the agitator to have his own way.Working conditions at present weregood, bus the professional agitators, morder to retain their position andfomented-trouble. Ho movi.-d: "That,in tho interests of our industry, a )oinuconference of employers and employeesshould bis held. That they discims thoquestion of making a set of Dominionworking rules. That it be a recom-mendation to t'ho joint conference toestablish a National Alliance of Em-ployers and Employees. 1 hat tnc Alu-nnce provides a constitution for CentralIndustrial Governing Hoards-to adminis-ter each tindustrial district with Area.Boards to control localities."

Mr W. IS'icol seconded the motion.,and spoke in favour of encouraging aspirit of conciliation. Tho men. hosaid, had a rifcht to bo considered: theywere human, as were Uhc employers, andshould be treated as men. A friendlyconference nnght lead to the rectifica-tion'of any wrongs tho men liad, andtho employers might be üblo to uhowthe men in what directions tlicy worewrong.

, Mr W. A. Pol.<on (Ohristr hiych) saidtlmfc Mr Collins had prepared a ofeight rules-which the had intro-duced into his shop and had found towork admirably. The only way to deal

" wifli tlio Red Fed agitator was by lirm-, licss and frankness.

Mr R. 8. Griffiths (Timaru) said hothought the mover had overdrawn thedangers from the professional agitator;

'ho did not exist in Timaru.Several members: Ho is here, though

• Mr"Griffith.s said that as long as thoArbitration Court attempted to malwall men equal they would have a feelingof revulsion on tho part of the em-ployees.

Mr J. D. Chetwin (Christchurdh) sup-ported the motion.

,«.■ Mr F. Brinsden (Auckland) said ho'thought the question wa» one hingingon supply arid demand: if there wasplenty of work, rules would not help

'.matters. They were anxiow to do the. right .thing by their men. If therewere no agitators in Timaru they couldspare a few from Auckland. (Laugh-ter.),Mr Nicol said that when agitators

•were inferred to it was not meant that: they wre in the Painters' Union.

Mr W.. Whenton (Anckland) referred' to an association existing amongst theplumbers in Auckland which effectedmuch good by,giving masters and menan opportunity to meet socially andotherwise. /

Mr H. Gapes (Wellington) spoke insupport of the proposal.

i Mr Collins said, with regard to therules dio'had drawn up, thaji lie..found

f ' tliat no advance copula be maijb traieaw. they had'a. conference with representa-tives* of the workers to ratify them/Copies of the rules were produced,and some of the details wore discussed.

Mr'W. Bott (Wanganui) said hethought they should affirm the prin«eiple and leave the local associations to

_

frame rule# to suit their own. condi-"

tions.Tho motion was agreed to, and theresolution was_referred to the incomingexecutive to give effect to it.Registration of the Association.

' The president submitted rules of theAssociation in view of the proposal that,it should be a registered society.

It. was agreed, to recommend thebirdies comprising the federation tondopfc ."Asspciation" as the title of eachbody,. It was also decided that tbe an-nual convention should be hold in thomonth of February. •

_The'rules were agreed td:

specifications.1 •. . The standard specifications, whictv

under consideration for sometime past* were considered seriatim.After lengthy discussion the specifica-

- tiong were adopted, with amendments;Add a vote of thanks was accorded Mr

■ Collins, who drafted them. It wasthat the standard specifications

v would )be of great assistance to young•architects, and to students at technical

i-'colleges. •Dorinlon Price List.

•• Mr, I*. Standridge (Wellington) sub-v mitted proposals tor a schedule pricer li«t for the whole Dominion, or, in thet Alternative, a puce list for the North'lsland and cno for tho South Is-

. • Mud. It would be, of assistance toi ;,those who were beginning in business. in tendering for certain work; it would

be also useful as a protection to all en*■ gaged in the trade. • '

The opinion was expressed that eachv contre should prepare a price list for

its own district. -It was moved: "That each association

should forward a price list to the in-coming executive."

As an amendment, it was moved:"That :i price list be made out appli-cable to the whole Dominion."

The amendment waa agieed to.XJiuform Rule?,

On the motion of Mr Gapes (Welling-ton). .seconded by Mr Urinsdon (Auck-land). it was derided: "That it be aninstruction to the incoming executiveto draw no a set of rules and by-lawsfor the affiliated associations."

Workmen'/ Insurance,

Mr \Y. A. Poison (Cliristehureh) sub-mitted a remit on the subject of work-men's accident insuranef-, and said thatrates had been raised from 12s Gd per£IOO to 20s per £IOO, and were now o.'sper £100; ho contended that the rates-were excessive. Five firms in Christ-ehureli in two years had paid premiumsand had claims paid as_follows: —Pre-mium paid £IOO, no claims: £4O paid,no claims; £36 paid, £5 12s Gd paidin settlement of claims; £53 paid, £5received for claims; £BO paid, £l2 re-ceived for claims. Tho builders inChristchurcli. in two years, had paid inpremiums £ISOO, antl had received inclaims £B9o_._Mr W. Nicol suggested that thisstate of tilings should be brought un-der the notice of the Government.

Tt was stated that the Governmentoffice charged the same rates as theconmanies. 3Mr J. Wren (Dunedin) suggestedthat tho building and allied tradesshould undertake their own insurance.

Mr E. J. Bell (Christchiircli) saidthat this would involve the depositingof a large amount of actual cash. Onhis motion, it was decided that thoFederation and each affiliated Associa-tion should write to tho GovernmentActuary for information as to theamount of premiums and claims paid;als,) that each Association should en-deavour, to get allied trades in theirdistrict to do similarly.

Tariff Reform.Mr J. "Wren (Dunedin) introduced

{ho question of the tariff, and -said thathe had been in Sydney recently, andas tho result of tho high protectivetariff .a number of industries were mak-ing wonderful strides. As regards thepresent tariff in :Xew Zealand, as it af-fected painters, ho thought it treatedthem very well; possibly the only waythat they wero not treated well was inrespect of tho duty of 25 per cent, onbrushware.

Mr Collin-; said that in tho NorthIsland a certain firm, which .intendedto specialise in tho manufacture ofpaint, proposed to appear _ lteforo theTariff Commission, armed with as muchauthority as possible, to try to getthe duty increased on mixed paints andvarnishes, so that it would be almostprohibitive to import them, as was thocase in Australia. He quoted with ap-proval, remarks made by

* ProfessorC'ondliffo in. hi* recent address beforetho Chamber of Commerce, in respectto a hi'eh protective tariff.

Mr Nieol referred to some anomaliesin the tariff in respect to painters' ma-terials, pointing out that instead of ;vuniform duty on oil varnishes. the dutyon tho cheaper kinds should

(

be de-creased. Referring to Mr re-marks, he said that "some of the paintsmanufactured by the .firm indicatedwere really first-class.

On the motion of Mr H. Gapes, sec-! ohded bv Mr Collins, it was agreed:1 "That tfiis Federation affirm the pre-sent tariff on trade requisites; that anyalteration in tho direction of increas-ing the tariff would operate againstthoto least able to afford it, namely,worker? building or maintaining theirhomes; and that a deputation from theChrintchurch Association wait on theTariff Commission and point out . tothem on what materials the duty shouldho increased or decreased, or left asat present."

... Prohibition.of Scrim.Mr A. Lovatt (Anckland) brought up

the question of the abolition of scrim,and said that, as they all knew, scrimwhen it had been up some time became'contaminated with dußt and disease,and tradesmen who had to handle itran the risk of contracting disease. Hereferred to, and submitted a sample of,a substitute for scrim, of British manu-facture. .

The president said that they werenot much interested in scrim in Christ-church. Ho suggested that local asso-ciations should bring the matter beforethe local bodies with the object of get-ting bv-laws passed on the subject.

• Mr R. S. Griffiths (Timaru) urgedthat it was a matter for the Health De-partment.

Mr F. Brunsden (Auckland) stronglyaupnorted this view, arid said that in

[ tho'poorer jjarts of Auckland there wereold cottages in which the scrim hadbeen on the walls for many years; chil-dren slerit in these rooms and hungtheir clothes against the walls. He wasconfident that by this means diseasewas carried to tne schools.

Mr E. J. Bell (Christchurch) moved:"That this matter he referred to theincoming executive to communicate,with the Health Department, and askthat the use of scrim be abolished assoon as possible on anything but tem-porary structures; and that the ofllysubstitute that cao. be suggested is lathand plaster.'*

i. The motion was agreed to.Competent Workmen.

Mr Brunsden brought up tho subjectof the Industrial Conciliation and Arbi-tration Act being amended to providethat members of unions should be com-petent workmen. He cited instanceswhichhad occurred in Auckland,- where,when an employer asked the union tosupply ft workman, an inefficient manwas sent along whose incompetency wasnot discovered, in somo instances, tillwork was spoiled.

Mr Bell said that he understood thatthere was a proposal that all painters,employers and employees, should be re-gistered, so that the Health Depart-ment would have some control overthose entrusted with the work* of In-terior decorators and renovators. Jiebelieved that along these lines theywould 1)0 able to secure what was sug-gested in the remit.

_.

On tho motion of Mr H. Gapes, itwas decided: "That this matter be loftto the executive to deal with at thosamo time that they arc dealing withthe remit dealing with working rules.

Supervision of Old Work

Mr J. Speirs (Palmerston North)moved: ''That this Conference rs otopinion that old work should bo doneunder tho supervision of tho HealthInspector." Tho mover said that intho smaller centres this was most n&-

Dean (Wancanui) cited aninstance where the Health Inspectorfailed to take action in respect of pro-mises that were in a bad condition.

jXr "\V. Nicol said that in such casestho Health Departmont should be com-iuunicated with direct.

In further discussion the point wasraised that if tho remit were agreedto the Confercneo would be going pastcitv and borough councils. The ques-tion was also raised in annexion withthe powers of tho Health Departmentregarding condemning insanitary build-m

The remit was not agreed to, and MrNicol was asked to nvake certam en-quiries in Wellington, and to reportthe result to the executive.

Next Year's Convention,

On the motion of rpaP, es' 5?c0+

n<?tlbv Mr Nic-01, it was decided that thoexecutive of the Federation remain in

Christchurch for the ensuing yoar, andthat the invitation of Wanganui tohold next year's convention m thattown be accepted.

Tlio Conference, in appreciation <>t

the services of the secretary of thoFederation, Mr J- 33- Clietwin, duringthe past year, voted him the sum or£25, and a bonus of £lO.

Conference adjourned till a.m.to-morrow. To-day tho delegates w»U

.be taken a motor drive to AshleyGorge; and in tho eveningthey will at-tend a theatre party at the OperaHouse. •

DUMPING OF OBJECTIONABLEMATTER.

BUKWOOD RESIDENTS' PROTEST.Protests against the dumping of nightsoil

and other objectionable matter on a reserveat Buxton's corner, Shirley, by the CityCouncil, were mido at a meeting of Bivrwoodresidents held last night. The meeting wasconvened by the Buiwood Progressive Aseo-jedation and m presided over by Mr H.Rowso. ,

Tho chairman said that the dumping ofobjectionable matter in the district liad beengoing on for _ a long time, but until re-cently the residents had thought that onlysuch things as 'tins were being put on thoreserve, but of Into the position had becomemore Berious. Tho City Council had beendriven from other districts tmd was nowdumping matter injurious to health on thoreserve in question. The Btirwood Progres-sive' Association waa out to' fight the matterto the end.

Mr J. Wilson, rice-president of the Asso-ciation, said, that he had investigated thedumping of refuse <m the reserve at Buxton'scorner,' and had found that uight«oil hadbeen regularly dumped. On a recent eveninghe had eeen a dead horee buried there notmore than lOin deep. Ho thought it wastimo the matter waa stopped. Tho Wai-mairi County Council had a by-law prohibit-ing tho dumping of objectionable matter, andthin should be put in operation immediatelyagainst. tho City Council.

In answer to a, question, the chairman saidhe thought the by-law only prohibited the(dumping of matter injurious to health. ThoHealth Inspector had seen the flJsot andwould probably talte action, though whentbey were up against the City Council they

i were up against a strong body. The resi-dents, if possible, ehould endeavour to havothe dumping of anything on the reserveprohibited as the spot waa an eyesore andlikely to depreciate tho valuo of propertyin the vicinity.

I Mr /Wilson moved that a deputation should'wait on the Waimari County Council at itsnext meeting an regard to the matter.

Mr W. J. Walter, a member of the Wai-mairi County Council, said that he thoughtthe Council would stand by tho Buiwoodresidents. The district should not be madea .dumping ground for the city as it had beenin the past.

~,,,,,-Mr Wilson's motion was seconded by Mr r.Shiirpe, and carried unanimously.

The following were the deputa-tion:—Messrs H. Bowso, J. Wilson, ond G.Robinson.'

"DUKE OF KILLIECRANKIE."Tho largo audience which assembled at tlio

Theatie Royal last night to see Marie Tem-pest iVI "The Marriage of Kitty" could butbe disappointed when it was announced jiust018 o'clock that Hiss Tempest was too un-well toi appear, and tliet a change wouldhave to ibo made in the play presented, "TheDnko of Killiecranltie" taking: the place of"The Marriage of Kitty," with an alterationin tho ca6te due to the absence of tho lead-

-1 ing lady. That feeling of disappointment,however, tvaa not indicated by any outwardmanifestations, and only a handful of patronstook advantage of the offer of tho manage-ment to restore th© admission money to tliosowho did noit wish to see tho substituted play.Miss Doriit Gilh«m replaced Miss MarieTempest in .the part of Mrs Mulholland, andMiss Amorel Kemp played the Countess ofPangbourne, Miss Gilliam's previous part.-Asleading ladv' for the evening Miss Gilliamhad to undortake a big responsibility, andevery credit is due to her for tlio splendidway in which she rose to the occasion, andpresented one of MJjs Tempest's most char-acteristic parts in 11 manner which preju-diced in no -.vay tho general success vof. thecomedy. She "was a compelling figure rightthrough the play, and her artistic work and

I general reliability weie heartily appreciatedby the audience. Mr G'raliam Browne, as thebroken down Parliamentarian, an irrepressi-ble lover of the fair widow 01 the Glue King,was a tower of strength in all tho comedy

• patrons by the finished ouality of his work.Another member of the company to achieve

AUSTRALIA'S 1921 CRICKET TEAM

COMPARED WITH 1899 AND 1902.

A3y Frank Iredale, the ei-Australian bat«'man, iu "Sydney News.")

(Several enthusiasts have asked in® my

o;, i n i o a of tho 'strength of the Australiantcjui to tour England, cd&'pared with thoseI uccompauied. It is hard to mako com-

pnt isons.A plavcr must be prejudiced about the- men

of* Ids day, for the reason tb.it he kn«w allobctit ths best worst of them. It-iijust, the Etmc with a selector, more csp*ri-iil'.v if he be a player in full practice. HomuM: S'O virtues in his own men, bocaure h>i* gij constantlv with them. On? mi eituat-oi i:\-. he b only judges the player on what,hi In iows of him, 0:1 the occasions that lieli.is tfsn him perform.

In iiakinj comparisons of team 3 end in-clitidr.i.U one lias to tako into account manytain;.';. I'"or insiano, no one should l;ocsl>d 11 great cricketer unless he h'i® maderr?oi 01 1 all conditions of wickets, and- inKnsrlanj' and in his homeland. apluV-cr t nay bo a success in Australia, andonly do moderately well in England.

Hast 0 E the members of the present teamhave don ® well this season in Australia

against tho English team, because the condltioiw liave been sa' typically AustralianHad we had a wet summer and a low ba<iwickets, come of our batsmen nuglit not huvfiattained the eminence they did.

I raay be Accused of prejudice, but. I-can-not help saying, knowing What I did aboutth® capabilities of tho players, that Uto pre-sent team would never have beaten tho sidesof 1599 or 1002, either, on good or badwickuts. . V

In the 1833 team we had an exceptionallystrong- team in batting. Even on bid wic-kets, Trimmer, Darling, Gregory, and Wor-rall wore oil capable of gettin? rurs u gainstnny of the best bowlers in England, <nd inthe bowling we had Jones, Tromble, Howell,Noble, McLeod, and Laver, who were morecapable. I think, a«

(a whole, than the bowl-

era in the present team.3n the 1902 team, Trumper was nlmosi a

team himself on tvnv wicket, and with Dar-ling, Gregory, and Duff to fiupport bim onthe bad wickets, the team was never in realclanger of losing matches oii bad wicket?. Inthe bowling, Saunders, Trumble, Noble,Jones, and Armstrong- were quito good•enough for any English eide of that year.

I have purposely compared these teamsMid certain players, because it is on budwickets you must study your side when inKntrland. On hard dry wickets Australian*find themselves at home. The players 1liavs taentioned are those who really count?!wh?n tha wickets wore against our wn.

In the present team there are few bale-men who can compare with the Englishplayers on bad wickets. I ece no batsmanlike Trumper, Darling, Worrall, or Gregorv,nor do I bo© a- bowler like Saunders, Howell,or Trumble.

Greg-cry, I think, will bi more surcssafiilthan Jones was on the bad wicket, becausahe rises more quickly, and as a. bowler hoseems more certain of his fooihoid. If tliewickets in England are dry, the Autfralinnsare in for a good time. If wo judge l£n?liOicricket by Douglas's team/ the opposition tothem, even allowing for a 2S per cent, in-crc3K> of strength in the English play ontheir own wicket, will not be preat;r than(hey can overcome. It rj possible tV.;i t ther-vmay be other good. players in England whomav improve the English teom, fiiri if so, itwill make our poeition harder, but not in-surmountable.

The greatest factor on Iho side, I think,is- youth—barring a few—and or,lhusiasm,and thij counts for a goad <lea'. But v.ni-withstanding our regard for thi pas!, cricke':-ers and teams, lb* destinies of our cricketaro all the name in worthy hand.*, and wepc-nd forth our cordial wishes for iti success,no matter what land they may bs playing in

LYTTELTON NEWS.MAGISTRATE'S COURT.

At the Magistrate's Court yesterday, beforeMr F. G. Norton, J.P., Gustav Nelson, asecond offender for drunkenness, was fined10a.

BOROUGH COUNCIL.The Lyttelton Borough, Counoil met last

evening. Present—The' Mayor (Mr W. T.Lester), Crs. J. R. Webb, J. H. Collins, M.j Miller, W. J. Elliott, J. J. Gower, G.Whitford, J. T. Norton, G. Morris, and F.G. Norton.

The manager of the Bank of New Zealandwrote, stating that the bonk proposed topay out only 17s 6d in the £ against allthe Council's debenture coupons presentedat the bank for-payment in future, the 2sGd deducted being on account of income tax.Debenfure-Jiolders who were not liable toincome tax would be referred to tho townclerk's office for payment, where they couldmake the necessary declaration. It was re-solved to grant the bank the necessary auth-ority.

Tit* organiser of the Canterbury ProgressLeague forwarded a supply of the League'slatest illustrated folder on Canterbury andWestland for distribution.

The Estates Committee reoommended thattha Council Chambers, offices, and Court-house be renovated at a cost not exceeding£2OO.

Cr. Morris protested against the proposalto subdivide the Council Chamber.

The recommendation was adopted.Mr J. McCormick, the Council's inspector,

was appointed working foreman.The secretary of tha Banks Peninsula Elec-

trio Power Board forwarded a copy of aletter received from the Assistant Under-Sec-retary Public Works Department on theproposal to include Diamond Harbcrar in theBoard's district as an outer area. The let-ter stated that, although there was no powerto add the Diamond Harbour territory tothe Banks Peninsula dicirict as an outerarea, there W33 power to mchide it withinthe district, if 25 per cent, or the ratepay-ers within the aroa petition the Governor-General to that -effect.

The town clerk was instructed to drawtha necessary petition.

LYTTELTON-SUMSTER ROAD.Some weeka ago the Government ceased

•work on the new road between Lytteiton andSumno'. leaving the road in a fairly com-pleted state. A party, consisting of Cr&.Morton, Miller, and Morris, the town cler/:and borough engineer, and representatives «jfthe Canterbury Progress League and Canter-bury Automobile Association, inspected theroad last week, and Mr H. Barnard, tineengineer to the Lytteiton Borough Couc/jil,tt*3 aaifcd to prepare an estimate of 'diecosf of completinr; the road prjcr to it bfin^taker, over by the Lyttelton Borough Coun-cil

The report, which carao» beiore the Lyt-telton Borough Council last eveningl, /statedthai the totil Imgth of'tins toad wia 'IOO

chains, the average width being 16it, andthe minimum 13ft. Sixty-two chains ofthe upper portion had been metailed. Thelower portion, 40 chains, was of clay for-mation, and was unmetalled. Substantialconcrete retaining walla had been built inseveral places, the largest being 190ft long.Protective _#>bblo work had also been erectedin other dangerous places, but so mo of itwas only temporary, being loose stones plac-ed cm tho 1edge of the road, and constitut-ing a danger in the event oi them beingdislodged and fallin; on tho lower road.There were six 12in storm-water drains acrossthe road, and one 2ft culvert. For thesafety of the upkeep of the road, it was de-sirable that six additional 12in storm-watordrains be laid, as serious damage might re-sult in the event of the road being flooded*with storm-water, owing to insufficientage. He estimated tho cost of the work asfollows:—Metalling the lower 40 chains, loftwide, spread and rolled, £397 ]os: metalling62 chains, spread and rolled, £441 15s; eix12in culverts, £76 10s: protective 80;maintenance, removing slips, etc., for, say,two years, £150: making a total of £1245 los.

Cr. Miller said that the engineer had beenasked to prepare tho estimate in order toget tEe Government to finish the road. Themost urgent work was the metalling of thelower 40 chains, which was at present onlya clay surface, before the winter set in. Hemoved {hat the Council adopt the estimatesas an offer to the Government to completethe work.

Cr. J. C. Norton said lie thought that theoffer was a very fair one. The completionof the road would lie to the benefit of thewhole of Canterbury. prjovidin«r. as it did,the only through road ta the Port.

Cr. Morris said that if the road was notmetalled at once, it wtiuld deteriorate rapid-ly, and would cost a lot more in the end.He thought that the item for maintenancewas too small, and ehould be made largerin • order to protect) the Council. He alsodrew attention to the fact that the road wasthe oldest Public Work in New Zealand, hav-ing Been commenced in 1848. Ho thoughtthat a suitable irtcmorial should be erectedon the new portion to Captain Thomas, whofirst commenced the task of opening a roadto the Plains.

Tho Mayor sftid that tho Governmentshould be asketj. to treat the matter as ur-gent, as once the winter set in it wouldbe impracticable- to carry on any work, andthe road would deteriorate.

It was dpcidfd to make the offer accordinglto tho esiima'tes of the engineer.
