stated on behalf OF the board Of trus-

that the contract with the Oppenheim

I The matter came to a head yesterday
when Deputy Attorney-General p. War

toned Mr.. Rothschild as to the labelling
OF clothing made there. The result OF

that he was placing on the pants

containing the companies purportlng TO
be manufacturers and their brand
names, he saying that 10 keep the trade,
Il was necessary TO follow the lnstruc-
