FEDERAL CONTRACTS.
PREFERENCE TO BE STIPULATED, j Replying; to a deputation, Mr > King O'Malley, Minister of Home Affairs, said that he had discovered that Ministerial responsibility was a fiction. The departmental heads j were tied down by a thousand- j year-old system, but when he ; obtained his freedom he would do what j ho could for tho deputation. j All futitro Government contracts j will contain a clause giving prefer- j once to unionists. This is the ' result of pressure by the unions j on tho caucus. The Govern- , ment takes, tho view that it re- ! presents primarily the members of the j trades unions, and must give its own ■ supporters the first claim to Govern- ; ment employment.
