GENERAL CABLES

A London message states that a party of thirty-one lads,, under the New Zealand slieepbreeders’ scheme, are proceeding by the Corinthic. The Sydney Master Printers’ Association has decided, under protest, • to concede the Printing Industry Employees’ Union demand for a forty-four hours week. The Privv Council affirmed the New Zealand Supreme Court’s judgment in the case Wright versus Morgan, except as regards certain particulars which are being retransmitted to the Supreme Court. A hundred Communists made a hostile demonstration on General de Rivera’s arrival in Paris. There were eighteen arrests and two policemen and many demonstrators were injured.— Sydney “Sun” Cable. As the result of a fire which commenced in a match factory at Aomori, in the north of Japan, over 300 houses, four large timber yards, and cne rubber factory were destroyed. Twenty persons were injured.—Reuter. The Governor-General of Australia, Lord Stonehaven, while visiting Rockhampton, developed a sudden illness and was ordered to remain in bed for several days. Arrangements for his tour further north have been cancelled. • \ The watersiders at Bowen, Queensland, decided to refuse to work except under a rotary system. It is feared there will be another hold-up similar to that of last year, when farmers were compelled to come in from outlying districts to enforce the shipment of produce. Five million dollars in gold arrived at San Franciso bv the Ventura from Australia consigned to the local Federal Reserve Bank for New York on account. The shipment is understood to have been part of a private transaction in wool interests, without relation to exchange conditions. This is the first gold shipment between Australia and the United States recorded for several months.
