UNLUCKY RETURN
Wong Taun (24), described as unemployed and living at No. 41, Castle Peak-road, was yesterday arrested as a deserter from the Police Force.
The man, a native of Waichow, was produced before Mr. E, W. Hamilton at the Central Magis- tracy this morning. His Police number was given on the charge sheet as C317.
Divisional Inspector Clark, who prosecuted, aaid that at the time of his desertion accused was under eontract to serve in the Force for five years. He joined the Force on June 6, 1926. and deserted on November 12, 1927. At the time of his desertion accused was sta- tioned at No. 2 Police Station, Wanchai.
The Police arrested him yester- day on the Hong Kong wharf of the Shamshuipo ferry.
Accused, who admitted the offence, was asked why he desert- ed and said that it was due to the death of his mother in the coun- try.

Mr. Patel was convinced a de- bate was impossible while the Meerut trial was pending. Such a debate would only be a farce and fraud. Mr. Patel claimed that the Speaker exercised his direct influence on Legislative action in the House. Power aot to put a motion to the House was 'not ex- pressly given, but accrued by im- plication and analogy, therefore he ruled that the Safety Bill was out of order.
This ruling was received very quietly.

Trades Dispute Bill The Council of State bas pase- ed without change the Trades Dis- pute Bill, which the Assembly passed on April 8.
The measure was prepared by the Government of India, based on sections of the British trade union legislation, establishing a court of enquiry composed of die- interested persons to investigata disputes, also a joint conciliation board, and laying down penalties for stoppage of work by employees of public utility services on month- ly wages, also persons fostering strikes and lockouts to coerce the Government or having any object other than furtherance of a trade dispute within an industry in which the disputants are directly engaged.
The opposition in the Legisla tive Assembly urged a postpnoe- ment of the Bill until publication of the report of the Whitley Com- mission enquiring into labour coa- ditions-Reuter.
