LABOUR COLONIES.
Senator Robson urged the need of the regulation of the existing machinery aealing with the unemployed problem. He recommended labour bureaux, also a. penal colony for unwilling workers, and a labour colony for the physically inelncient, in addition to a better colony for the honest unemployed, who were unable to find an honest day's work. There ought, he continued, to be some arbitration authority to settle the wages question, and added—"We must task the left of the Labour Party with Materialism; there is no spiritual force behind it." The Rev. J. L. Dore, of New Zealand, explained the reasons for the absence of sweating in New Zealand.
