THE BRITISH GAZETTE.

OFFICIAL NOTIFICATIONS. PROTECTION FOR LOYAL MEN. OTHER PAPERS BEING REVIVED. By Telegraph—Press Association.'—Copyright. (Received '7.5 p.m.) A. and N.Z.—Router. LONDON. Mav 5. The now Government organ, the British Gazette, in its second issue today contains an article in which it is claimed that the nation is calm and con- , fident. It advises Londoners not!- to walk to work, as there will bo a full service on the Central London Railway tomorrow as well as a plentiful supply of buses of the London General Omnibus Company and those of independent ownership. An official notice to the printing trade in the same issue says that, when the strike ends the Government' will take | effectual measures to prevent victimisaJ tion by the trades unions of men who j remain at work. No settlement will bo j agreed upon which does not provide lor this for a lasting period, and for its cnforcement by penalties. "No man who does his duty to his country," says the paper, "will; I elicit unprotected from reprisals." The publication of newspapers has been resumed in a number of country towns, including Newcastle, Cardiff and Glasgow. Photographic plates of typescript arc being utilised in many cases. The London financial newspapers are being published. They contain news of stock and share movements. Broadcasting was extensively'used last night for the distribution of Government information and otlier news relating to public arrangements. The service was operated every half hour from 9.30 a.m. until midnight. In all parts of London each wireless shop has had fitted up in the doorway a lou J-speaker. Crowds throng around these, listening to the periodical broadcasts, because few are lucky enough to secure copies of the British Gazette or the single sheet and type-script issues in other quarters. Another novel feature is the posting in windows of broadcast Tha bulletins are surrounded by eager crowds. A new feature in London is the appearance of a flood of little job-printed handbill newspapers which are selling like hot cakes'at 3d each. The news in them is mostly a stale repetition of the broadcast bulletins. • The -postal authorities announce that telephones and telegraphs are so congested that calls must be reduced to a minimum. NEW LABOUR PAPER. RELEASE AFTER A RAID. DAILY MAIL PRINTED IN PARIS. Australian and N.Z. Cable Association. (Reed. 12.5 a.m.) ' LONDON, May 5. The police to-day raided the office of the Daily Herald, which was publishing a Trades Union Congress paper entitled "The British Worker." This Was a counter to 7 the British' Gazette,' - The police seized this paper.

Later the Government released the paper for publication under censorship. It transpires that Scotland Yard communicated to thn Government that the Labour Party had represented that as the Government was issuing the British Gazette it was only reasonable that the other side should have its own organ. The Government assented subject to a censorship. Consequently the Labour paper was published. It was eagerly bought at any price the news vendors, could obtain. The appearance of this new Labour paper and of a Continental edition oi the Daily Mail on the streets at night time caused some excitement. The Labour paper gave prominence to the general council's'message to the effect that Labour's response had exceeded all expectations. The rest of the issue consisted of reports from the provinces. The Daily Mail issued four editions of the paper of the usual size. ■ News was telephoned or telegraphed to. Paris, where the papers were printed. From there 'they were conveyed in aeroplanes to London. The street sellers demanded a minimum of 3d a copy.
