The whole of tho evidence was taken down word for word by shorthand and afterwards typewritten, and the defendants had the fullest opportunity of reading, explaining, or refuting it. At the meeting of the District Committee tho presence of a steward on November 7 who had been absent on November 5 in no way prejudiced tho ease of the defendants, as the hearing on the 7th was opened by tho reading of the whole of the evidence taken on the sth.’’
