the Government demanding an explan ation of the recent "capture" of newspaper plants by workers under its influence. The Govern ment is consequently inviting the Press Association to send a de-. inlegation to the Headquarters and it is believed that a temporary. settlement will be the result.

In reply to Mr. Andrews, "wit- ness denied at first that he had been warned as to the packets. but la adrilted that that was RO.
Replying to Mr. Lindsell, Mr. Andrews said their case, was that the right tins were obtained, but the wrong stuff was put into them. It was also alleged that the lubels round, the tins, together with seal and chop, were forgeries.
