-"■Rather an amusing interlude took place before-the-Arbitration Court at Grevmouth over the Blackball strike. When Hon. A. Guinness, who appeared for the union, was cross-examm-in«r Manager Leitch', the latter replied—lt was not the practice of the company to give notice. "It was on your advice that we sacked the men on a minute's notice, and we followed it in this case."-(Laughter). Mr Guinness: When did I give you advice" Mr Leitch: Three years ago, IS we are following it out Mr fiuinness • Have you the advice in writing?' Mr Leitch: No; but when von were acting as the company s solicitor you gave the advice. m A little later the witness again rang in something about Mr G.'s advice, upon which the latter warmly said, O, never mind my advice. Say it was wrong!"
