A telegram was sent on the date of closure stating that the furnace had closed from 8 A.M. and would remain closed until further intimation, with detailed particulars to follow on the next working day. That communication was treated as substantially complying with the trade notice and its intimation requirement, especially as the Department did not dispute notice to the Range Superintendent.
