LABOUR, ETC.

London, Sept. 20, A tailoress in her evidence before the Commission stated that vests are frequently made for the Prince of Wales in a filthy den in Poplar, Sydney, Sept. 21.

A deputation which attempted to interview Sir G. Dibbs last night waited on him to-day to urge the release of the members of the committee arrested at Broken Hill. Sir Gr. Dibbs told them that the law must take its course. It was nonsensical to suppose that any minister could take the responsibility of interfering. The law was not put into operation by the special orders of the Government. If the deputation approached Parliament with a petition it would receive attention.

Matters are quiet and the deputation addressed the men and counselled peaceful speaking They could obtain redress at the ballot box.

A large number of Socialists were included in last night’s procession. They had a red flag flying, and met at a statue, where fully 10,000 people congregated. The crowd dispersed by midnight. One man was arrested for attempting to break through the police lines. Much incendiary oratory was indulged in by the leaders. Sept* 22. The evidence in the conspiracy ' case largely refers to threatened outrages and destruction of fr^' e labourers’ property. Wellington, Sept. 21. v rhe Wellington Liberal Association have decided to appoint a deputation to wait on the Government and urge the establishment of a female branch in connection with the Labour Bureau
