REPORT ON ORDINANCE No...................................................................of 191 1922. ́

1.

I have examined the accompanying Ordinance intituled an ordi-

nance to confer on the Governor in Council

over to make regula-

•

tions on occasions of emergency or public

danger,

and I am of opinion that the Ordinance is one which is not contrary to the

Governor's Instructions,

2. The object of this ordinance is to give the Governor in Council

gover, in cages of emergency or public danger, to make any regulations

which he may think desirable in the public interest.

3. The occasion of the parsing of the Ordinance was the attempt on

the part of the organisers of the segmen's strike to paralyse the

whole life of the Colony by means of an increasing number of "sympa-

thetic" strikes, largely induced by methode of criminal intimidation.
