The government would make an early effort to find a better way. The day of half measures meas-ures had passed; a final settlement must be effected. Mr. William Woodall, member of Parliament Parlia-ment for Hanley, on behalf of a number of leading citizens of Staffordshire, to-day presented pre-sented Mr. E. E.
