THE UMPIRE. Deputy Speaker's New Task. It ie announced by a London con- temporary that it is the intention of the Government to invite Mr. J. H. Whitley, Chairman of Ways and Means, and Deputy-Speaker of the House of Com- mons, to act as umpire in further points of dispute which may arise in the nego- tiations between the Ministry of Trans- port and the railwaymen. No better selection could possibly be made. Not only has Mr. Whitley won the golden opinions of all parties by his tact and impartiality in the Chair of the House of Commons, but he commands in an eminent degree the confidence of employers and employees. Mr. Whitley is an acknowledged expert on industrial probleme, and is, of course, the author of the famous Joint Indus- trial Councils. His popularity among all classes in Halifax, which he has represented con- tinuously since 1900, will be gathered from the fact that he has on each occa- sion been returned by huge majorities. and last year headed the poll by the enormous figure of 18,100 over his Socialist opponent. Mr. Whitley ;6 the senior partner of .the firm of S. Whitley and Co., cotton spinners, and is a large employer of labour. Before his promotion to office Mr. Whitley took a prominent part in debate, and was one of the most vig'lant critics of the Estimates. He has held office continuously for twelve years. In 1907 he was appointed e. Junior Lord of the Treasury. In 1911 he became Chairman of Ways and Means, a post he has retained over since. It is generally expected that he 6 de8- igned to suoceed Mr. Lowther, the pre- •pst SjM^teg. ftitan "rlv daa.

Winston Churchill, Minister for War and Air, giving evi- dence. said that the underlying idea of the Tanks was not a new one. Mr. H. G. Wells had dealt with the subject in arti- cles written some years ago. Witness ) did not think it was possible to say to anyone: This man invented the Tank." General Swinron visualised the advantage of such a weapon as the Tank in modern warfare. In further evidence Mr. Churchill said that ha dthe war gone on tol919, it was proposed that all Tanks should be fitted with apparatus enabling them to dis- charge great clouds of smoke.

Mr. Samuel now said they had reached the conclusion that amendment was inad- Tisabla. HAD PITCH WARTS. 'LI.I Defendant, who suffered irom pncu warts, entered the employment of the de- fendant company at the end of 1912 or be- ginning of 1913. He had never before been engaged where pitch was used.

On Monday night they marched through the town in orthodox strike fashion. with two lighted condles for a torch, and singing, not the Red Flag," but such regulation martial music as H Inky Pinky Parley Vous," with words adapted for the occasion. It is not known whether a strike committee will he formed, or whether there will be any svmpathetic aotion. One of the strikers, when interviewed, said that the Cardiff papers had arrived in town, but the boys would not take them, as they wanted 4d. a dozen instead of 3d, Local passers-by who taunted the boys 1 that tliev would soon be back at work were booed and hissed.

NEW TERRITORY. African S. West Protectorate. WINDHOEK, Oct. 2 (delayed). At the capital of the new territory to- day, Lord Buxton, the Governor-General of the Union, delivered an important and what will probably be a historical pro- nouncement on the status of administra, lion of tho South-West Protectorate, which was formerly German South-West Africa, and which has now been welded to the Union under marriage lines from the League of Nations. In hw Excellency's words. South-West Africa will, I 08.D safely assume, for better or worse, for richer or poorer, for ever and aye, form an integral portion of the Union." Windhoek gave their Excellencies a most cordial reception, and a great throng of townspeople cheered them heartily on their arrival. There was a dignified and most impressive scene in the Ratsaal. where the Governor-General delivered a speech in the presence of many ladies and representatives of the British garrison and community and quite a large number of the German community. DELICATE POSITION. His Excellency said they would An realise the somewhat delicate position i-it which he was placed in making his first speech as Governor-General of the Union, after the decision of the Union Parlia- ment to accept the mandate for South. West Africa, which meant practically the transference of this country to the Union as an integral portion of its territory. He was very glad that his first speech at Windhoek came when the ratification of the Peace Treaty, which would finally end the great and terrible war, was about to ta.ke place. His Excellency, after some obserrations on the, new outlook and a reference to hie visit to the sand belt in the south during the campaign, said that he was glad in- deed that his second visit was au errand of peace instead of a mission of war. Lord Buxton, then outlined the position of the territory, and, paying a tribute to the administrative work carried on by the officials of the Union sines the surrender of the German forces, emphasised that the territory had been fortunate in having men like Sir Howard Georges, Colonel de Jager, MajoT Herbst, and others, who had done their best to administer the oountry with due consideration for the feelings of the German population. (Applause.)

WAR GRATUITIES. Over 170,000 Already Issued. The War Office has issued the following communication with reference to the pay- ment of war gratuities:— The war gratuities granted in Decem- ber last has now been issued to the legal representatives of over 170,000 officers and men who died in the war. The cases of all officers and men who died on or before December 31, 1916, have now been taken in hand, and if the representatives of any of those who died on or before that date have not already received a communica- tion from the War Office on the subject of the gratuity they should send particulars at once to the Secretary, War Ofhce, Im- perial Institute, London, S.W.7. Until further notice no application should be made in respect of officers or men who died after December 31, 1916. As numerous applications are still being received from representatives of officers who were appointed direct to tem- porary commissions, it is again pointed out that such officers are entitled only to the gratuity issuable under the Royal warrant for pay, and this gratuity is paid when the officers' balances are issued. 1 M ISAPPREij ENSI ON. I In view of widespread misapprehen- sion on the subject, attention is also called to the fact that under the Royal Warrant of December 17, 1918, the war gratuity, except in the case of a soldier serving in the Regular Army for a normal period of service, includes any gratuity I admissable in respect of the period of war I service under Articles 1117 and 1118 of the Royal ,rarrant for Pay, or under similar I regulation.' The latter gratuity is credited to a deceased soldier's estate with any balance of pay on closing his ac- ¡ count. a Therefore, in cases where the estate was distributed before the issue of the war gratuity authorised in December last, the amount now remaining for pay- ment in respect of war gratuity is the total war gratuity under the Royal War- rant of December 17. 1918, less the amount of the gratuity under the Royal Warrant for Pay already credited to the estate."

I CENTRAL STORES. I f Local Scheme Deferred. I Mr. John Lewis (chairman) presided I on Monday at a meeting of Swaneea I Council Stores Committee, which dis- cussed once more at length the question of the establishment of a central stores.

Some members wanted a smaller scheme by which the proper use of returns" from jobs could be asshred. Eventually the question was deferred for a year. Selection from the tenders for haulage I was left to a sub-committee.
