COOK'S WEIRD TALE

OF GOLD JEWEL.

Says He Killed Man To Possess It.

COURT INCREDULOUS

Weaving a web of excuses that could only have had their source

in the imaginative mind of a coolle, Lo Tau, stated to be a cook on a Canton boat, told Mr. Wynne- Jones at the Central Police Court! this morning of how he came by a gold appendage which he was found trying to pawn.

At first he said he obtained it! from one of his, fokis on the Can- ton boat. This tale was denied when officers took him to the ship and he could not find the servant. The next excuse was that he re ceived the property from a travel, ling trader. This was also with-i out foundation, as he could not produce the trader.

As a grand finale, he let his imagination run entirely away with him and told the Court that he had taken it from a Russlan Communist he had shot in Cheung Chau.

GOVERNMENT WILL TRY TO

STOP COAL STRIKE., Minister Approaches Both Sides In Dispute.

London, To-day. The general position in the cotton dispute in Lan- cashire remains unchanged, though reports that the Government is steeping in with a view to ending the dispute, gained force by the announcement that Sir Henry Betterton, Minister of Labour, had communi- cated with both sides this evening. The contents of his letter, however, are not yet revealed.

Meanwhile more than 150-, 000 idle workers are waiting for the trouble to finish so that they may go back to work and earn their livings. Reuter.

SNIPE-SHOOTING

SEASON.

Many Sportsmen Out But "Bags" Are Small.

A number of sportsmen, out in the New Territories after snipe during the week-end, enjoyed good shooting but generally the "bags" were on the small side. The birds were not rising well and apparently most have gone north.

The licence fees are being raised this year and consequent~| ly it is anticipated that fewer enthusiasts will be seen shoot- ing in the New Territories this

season.

T.U.C. LEADER'S CRITICISM.

Denounces Government's Economy Policy.

T.U. CONGRESS OPENED.

London, To-day.

The fourth Trade Union Com gress opened at Newcastle-on-Tyne today, and will remain in session, throughout the week. Mr. John Bromley, in a presidential address criticised the Government's hand- ling of the economic situation and declared that the right policy was | not to curtail production, but to increase consumption.

He denounced the policy of economy which lessened the pur- chasing power of the great body of consumers and said that the pro- blem of mill was only to be solved by drastic action on the basis of a shorter working day and working week without the reduction of wages. Employment, he said, must the be equitably shared between workless and the overworked...

The Congress aimed to inake a contribution of £1,000 to the Unions engaged in the Lancashire cotton dispute.-British Wireless Service.
