With reference to the case of the men
from Messrs. Butterfield and Swire's 'general office, which
was recently before the Tribunal, I am directed to forward .egrame
the enclosed copies of telegrame received from the Secret- and 1918. -ary of State for the Colonies regarding representations
made by the Shipping Controller.

It was pointed out, in reply to the
second telegran, that Er. Rawlinson, who had lately been employed in the Sugar Refinery Branch, had already been
enrolled and that the matter was therefore in the hands of
the War Office. I attach a copy of a telegram from the
War Office, which was subsequently received by the General
Officer Commanding.

It will be seen from this telegram that
Kenora. Butterfield and Swire obtained the discharge of
Mr. Rawlinson on representations made to the Shipping
Oontroller that he was required for the purpose of
establishing a new agency for the Shipping Ministry at
Vladivostock. It now transpires that Mr. Rawlinson is not
required for this purpose. He has been sent to Newchwang
to relieve another man, who is going to Vladivostock; and
he will not be in charge at Newchwang. There is nothing
