General Booth’s application for an injunction of 21st January will probably be adjourned to 25th January at the request of the High Council. Sal--1 . vation leaders do not show a disposition to compromise. The adjournment enables the preparation of a reply by the Council of seven, whose convenors, rin addition to Higgins, received writs. Xlie injunction application allegedly conflicts with the assurances that legal proceedings would not be taken, liecause they conflicted with the spirit and letter of the Salvation regulations. The Council is unlikely to sit officially this week, though territorial commanders may confer. Commissioner Friedrich is ill at Sunbury Court and cannot attend. INJUNCTION ADJOURNED.
