♦ A CHARGE AND A BEPLY. (By OaWa—Prees Association—CopyiigrM.) (Australian and N.Z. Cab!® AssociatiocJ (Received September 9th. 5.5 p.m.) LONDON, September 9. Sir Richard Gregory, speaking at the meeting of the British Association condemned the Trade Unions' lack of interest m scientific problems, pointing out that many pioneer scientists had been men of humble origin. He said if the Trado Unions were true to their titles, instead of being merely wage unions, they would give the same attention to the scientific principles of their industries as they did to claiming the uttermost wages from them. Mr Bi.nsen, an Edinburgh Trade Union leader, replied that it was no part of tho functions of trade unions to propagate scientific knowledge. Thoy might as well ask cricket dubs and musical societies to promote scientific lectures.
