THE RIGHT TO STRIKE
WILL NOT BE GIVEN UP. (Received 0.40 ajn.) MELBOURNE, this day.
In the Federal House, Mr Howe, speaking against the Preference Abolition Bill, said: "I am going to stand by the right to strike. It is good for mc and my people. I care not for your laws; we are going to fight. If your Arbitration and Conciliation Courts can help us we will accept them, but I am not concerned with your industrial peace. If I cannot get industrial justice for the people by arbitration I shall get it by means of my fellows. I hope my people will stand by mc."
He characterised the bill as a deliberate attempt to break up union forces, and an attempt to divorce the political and industrial aspects of trades unionism.
