Press Association—By ; Telegraph—Copyright London, February 25. The War Office recoups the loss entailed through the adoption of the eight hour system in the duck yards by reducing sick pay and overtime and abolishing payment on Bank holidays. Melbourne, February 26. Friction has arisen between the Premier and Archbishop Carr in declining the invitation of the Trades and Labour Council to take part in a deputation to the Premier on the subject of the unemployed. Archbishop Cart wrote regretting that he could not with any sense of respect join the deputation, as the attitude Mi- Patterson had adopted towards the Leongatha Labour Colony forced him or believe that participation in the proposed deputation would be useless and humiliating. The causa of his disapprobation ia that tho Premier praised tne founders of the Leongatha Colony for their self-sacrifice, but veered round when asked for a larger amount of monetary support than he had at first promised.
