It is understood that tho Labour members will declare straight out for preference to unionists, without limitation. A meeting of the Employers' Federation discussed tho situation.

The climax had been reached by the proclamation of absolute preference to unionists. A resolution was adopted that the Federation viewed the action of the Government with tho gravest concern.
