GENERAL CABLES
PREMIERS' CONFERENCE DAYLIGHT-SAVING. (By Telegraph.— Press Association.— Copyright.) (Received May 13, 9 a.m.) SYDNEY, This Day. The Premiers' Conference resolved in favour of uniform light and harbour dues, co-operation in the direction of national insurance against unemployment, and the appointment of a Royal Commission to report on the treatment of refractory ores. There was considerable amusement over what was described as the "hardy annual," the daylight-saving idea. Mr. Earle (Tasmania) suggested that anelectrical system would be better. Mr. Holman thought the suggestion an excellent one, but the public was not quite ready for it. The Conference reaffirmed the resolution recommending the matter of daylight-saving to the serious attention of the States.
