A Compromise.

The Labour Union has applied for a modification of the rules on its behalf, with the result that the Committee has compromised by auspending the rules for a month in the case of two hotels but re-i taining them against the other. The distinction probably arises from the fact that in the two exempled hotels Chinese employees and guests are predominant, while the others are Japanese both as to staff and largely as to clientele. After the month of grace, the em- ployees of the two hotels are in- structed to take them ever and run
