ceivcd, but II is understood that the
proposal is being given full considera-
ton by the butchers. The eleven abat-

The compromise proposed by Mr..

lowing terms:
If the abattoir owners will plead
guilty on Tuesday morning Mr.. Pur-

impose q fine of 500 on each, suspend
ing the fines, however, for thirty days.
in order to allow the slaughter house
men to get together and erect n CEN

by such q compromise as this the

would not consent to further continue
