Parties to the Strike "The facts, to my mind," said Judge Lukin, "can leave no doubt strike in that there has been a against this award; that is, against its provision that the standard of hours shall be 48. It is a strike be- work by employees in the industry cause it was a partial cessation of

acting in combination as a means of enforcing compliance with de- mands made by them, notwithstand ing such award, that the hours of labour should be limited to 44 hours per week and a partial and subse- quently a total refusal of em- ployees, acting in combination, to accept work.

"I am satisfied on the evidence that each of the respondents is a party to such strike, and, by rea- sonable inference that they still are acting in conformity with the received directions

from the Union. It is a just conclusion from the evidence that the Union has been throughout regulating and directing the actions of its members, and making them act in combination to refuse work or to accept work under the law, and to set such award at deflance and at nought, and that its members have acted as so directed.

Weakening in Ranks

The secretary of the Timber Merchants' Association (Mr. F. H. Corke) said subsequently that there were indications that the end of the strike against Judge Lukin's award was in. sight.

He "anticipated that after the order of the Court was issued, upon the summonses which were heard by Judge Lukin, a number

CRUEL BEATING

IRON HOOPS FOR A SMALL BOY'S BACK

ONLY $10 FINE

A Chinese, who gave his age as 19 years, appeared before Mr. T. S. Whyte-Smith at the Kowloon Court this morning charged with a8- saulting a lad younger than himself.

The complainant had been caned by scensed because he had failed to

return to the shop, where he was apprenticed as a wooden tub-maker. The little boy, with his back bare, turned to the Magistrate, when it was seen to be marked with ghastly atripes.

His Worship walked over to the

witness box to have a closer look at the wounds inflicted.

His Worship, after hearing evið-

ence, said that surely if complainant

had run away it was no reason why accused should cane him so severely. He asked the boy how the cats were made the latter replying that ac- cused had hit him with the iron boop.

His Worship said that it was a pity that accused was not a little younger as he could not now order him to receive the birch. He was too old for that. But he did not like the idea of sending him to jail and, therefore, gave the alternative of a fine of $10 or 14 days' imprisonment.
