PATRONAGE AFFECTED
WELLINGTON EXPERIENCE (For Press Association.) WELLINGTON, this day. The rise in the price of beer and the abolition of house shouting, together with a boycott of the hotels by sections of organised l workers, is apparently .adversely affecting jmtronage. It was noticeable last night—Friday being usually a good night—that in one bar the clientele were mostly members of the white collar brigade. One of the barmen, who was drawn into one of the many discussions going on, said he dicli not think the announcement of an outbreak of war would have caused more discussion in the bars on Tuesday, when it became known, that beer would be dearer and! shouting was to go. The announcement burst like a bombshell, he said.
