 15th April, 1916. Dear Chrystal, I am much obliged for your letter of the 14th instant and enclosed copy of Order in Council relative to the weekly half-holiday for employees in the liquor trade. As, however, section 1 of the Shops Act, 1912, does not apply to Ireland (see section 21 (6)) I don't think any action is required so far as Ireland is concerned. Yours sincerely (sd) APM G.W.
