THE QUEENSLAND LABOUR QUESTION.
A KNOTTY PROBLEM.
(Received 9.37 a.m.)
MELBOURNE, this day. The Queensland Federal representatives are perturbed owing to the cabled report that the Royal assent has been withheld from the Sugar Industry Guarantee Bill recently passed in the Queensland Parliament, because of a clause preventing the employment of alien labour in factories. It is considered that either the influence of the sugar interests has been brought to bear to block the Bill, or that the Imperial Parliament views with disfavour any Australian attitude ' which may be construed into hostility to the Japanese. If the latter view is correct, it raises the question how Japanese are to be treated under the Bill dealing with alien labour which is proposed to be introduced in the Federal Parliament.
