SIX O'CLOCK CLOSING

, PROTEST FROM CHARTERED CLUBS. The following letter has been forwarded to the Rt. Hon. W. P. Massey, Sir Joseph Ward, and Sir Francis Bell:— At a meeting of delegates of the Wellington, Wellesley, Central, Civil Service, Working Men's, arid Commercial Travellers' Clubs, the following resolution was passed:—'That this meeting of representatives of all chartered clubs in Wellington desires to respeorfully express the opinion that tho action of Parliament in making permanent 6 o'clock closing- part of the Amended Licensing Act is a distinct breach of faith, inas'ffluch as tho people wore given to understand that C o'clock closing of all licensed premises was a war measure only, enacted for tho duration of the war and for eix months thereafter and no longer. The meeting notes that this innovation to the Bill was carried .by one vote only. The members of chartered clubs, in the desire to iissist the Government in winning the war, avoided' strenuous opposition when early closing was mooted on the foregoing understanding, and we regret that some members of Parliament, including members of the National Cabinet, have not observed the understanding, and we respectfully ask that before the Bill is considered by the Upper House the representatives of the chartered clubs be heard on the matter.'
