The disruption has led to widespread protests by factory munngers who claimed that pro- quetion had been affected.

Mr C. F. Wood, Manager of the power company explained | Utis morning that "the break- down is the sort of thing normally anticipatest to happen occasionally."

The seemingly long delay in repair, he pointed out, was due to the fact that "workers can- not go into the boller for repair beenuse of the heat which takes at least two to three days to cool down."

On the point of short notiea of which textile mills complain- ed, he said the breakdown oc- curred about noon last Friday and "by two or three o'clock, all the big factories bad been notified by telephone calls.
