I have the pleasure to inform you that the duplication of our Cocos- Fremantle section, hy means of a "loaded" type of cable, was suc. cessfully completed on March 15 inst by the cable steamer Colonia, The new cable is, for the present being utilized for traffic at only cor tain perinds of the day, in order to allow of experiments being made towards obtaining reliable signals al its maximum speed of working. So far as these experiments have gone, I am confident that it will prove to be a valuable adjunct to our system.

To provide additional office ac commodation, a new building is under construction at Fremantle, which we hope to have completed at an early date.

An onlargement is being made to our office at Darwin, which was necessary for the installation of automatic working.

At Inst pear's 'maceting mention was made of the reconstruction of premises which had been purchased at Melbourne, and from this year's balance sheet you will observe that a portion of those premisos has been sold-I am pleased to say at a satisfactory price the remaining portion being quite sufficient for our requirements, and the recon- struction is shortly to be commen- rod.

Birchenough, of the Cotton- spinners and Amalgamated Opera tives Association, at the annual meeting of the General Federation of Trade Unions at Dover.

He said the financiers' specula- tive madness was strangling the in- dustry.

Mr. Birchenough strongly criti- cised the last great lockout in the alleged that in proportion to the woollen and textile industries, and population there were more mil- Horaires in Bradford than else where in the kingdom. Their mil lions were made out of raw manufactured wool. Reuter.
