The Minister of Labour, the Hon. G. J. Anderson, who is still in London, is another vote for the no-license section, and Mr. Tapley was also counted with the majority of eleven, whirh voted for Mr. McComb's amendment to place the bare majority in the bill introduced by the Prime Minister. However, Mr. Tapley is likely to be in his place before the subject comes up again, together with Mr. T. M, Wilford and Sir Joseph Ward, who are not on the side of the nolicense section.
