and the stage is 120x160 feet. There are
also dressing rooms for the singers.
The carpenters who were engaged in
BUILDING the hall at Caledonia Park and
who are now on strike have gained
another position from which TO attack
the management. The National Must
clans Protective Union has expressed its
willingness to boycott places which
come under the district councils ban.
II that organization be informed that the
management of the approaching Saenger-
fest has become obnoxious to the striking
carpenters it will refuse to let any Of its
members play at any of the exercises of
the festival II Is expected that this will
bring the managers to terms.
