when tho mootiiiK came olf, and I ptom
isrd thoni that the meeting would not
take place until they weio given an op
pot Utility lo bo on hand. By tho time
the sub-committee got to me, with tho
notification of tho fixing of tho meeting,
theio was not .sufficient time loft in
wliieli to get woid to these men I had
pi utilised to notify.

'That, In itself, was Mitllolent wir

le.ison foi mv not intending to bo pies
i'iit 1 did not want to dipclo&c to tlio

I suspected that 1 was not being hon
estly dealt with, and I wanted to sat

some time, and when tho committee
was nppaiontly tlnough with their
business, I asked them if it was not
tine that tho stilkor.s had icpudlatod
their agioemenl lo have a seciot bal
lot. 'Well, cs,' said one of their ntim
bot, 'that is a fact. They aie now le
IusIiir to hae a seeiet ballot.'
"I had known of this Hince eaily in

illuming meeting that cmno to mv

talnty that the fommlUoe would not
