TIRED AND UNSHAVED

MEMBERS ANXIOUS TO STOP

"MORE LIKE A MENAGERIE.*

(By Telegraph.—Press Association.) WELLINGTON, this day. A new phase of tlie stonewall was entered upon at 4.12 a.m., when Mr. D. S. Sullivan (Labour, Avon) moved to report progress. In supporting this motion, Mr. W. J. Jordan (Labour, Manukau) said he had a personal reason for agreeing with the suggestion. "I am tired," Mr. Jordan said slowly. "I am very tirei." The 'Chairman: The hon. gentleman has every right to sit down if he is tired. (Laughter.) Mr. Jordan: That will rest my body to some extent, but I am tired in my mind. (Laughter.) Some members may not be troubled with any mental tiredness, for obvious reasons. (Laughte>\) The Chief Government Whip is trying to hold the benches for the Reform Opposition, and is sitting with the Chief Reform Whip. Perhaps he is mentally confused. His confusion will probably find expression in legislation v/e pass. Mr. J. McCombs (Labour, Lyttelton) complained about the atmosphere of the chamber as a fitting reason for adjournment, and suggested that some memuers would catch cold. Mr. H. T. Armstrong (Labour, Christchurch East), explaining that he had not brought a barber's shop with him, added, "If we go another 24 hours without going to a barber's shop, the House will look more like a menagerie than 'anything else."
