COMMONWEALTH CABLES.

FEDERAL MASTER BAKERS. (Received 9.25 a.in.) Melbourne, October 31. At the Federal Master Bakers’ Conference, Mr Allen, of New Zealand, was present, and proposed combined action so as to reduce bakers’ expenses and thus be able to -sell bread cheaper. The Sydney representative declared that the greatest combine that ever existed was the' Trades Hall. Master bakers in Sydney had to take off their hats and say: “Workmen, would you mind coming to work to-morrow?” WOMEN AND HATPINS. (Received 9.25 a.m.) Sydney, October 31. A further batch of sixty-one women was fined 5s and costs 6s for wearing’ protruding- bat pins. THE DAVIS CUP. Melbourne, October 31. The Davis Cup competitors are practising assiduously. Beamish’s forte is undoubtedly his low backhand drive, gathering pace from the turf. His reach and alertness in network render him a doughty opponent. Lowe is primarily a fine base liner, driving well, thence both on the fore and backhand. Adelaide, October 31. In connection with the robbery from Harris and Scarfe, jewellers, the detectives discovered three brief bags full of jewellery'and valued at between £IOOO and £2OOO in thfc roof of the bit-well.
