THE ARBITRATION BILL.
MINISTER'S ATTITUDE. (DY TELEGKAPH —SPECIAL COIIKEBPOHDENT.) Ghristohurch, February 12. The "Lyttelton. Times," referring to the action of the Minister for Labour, Mr. Millar, in agreeing to preside at'the. conferences of shipowners aDd the Seamen's Union,- says it is given to understand that the Minister has decided not to re-introduce the amending Conciliation and Arbitration measure. But adds the "Times," if the amendments were required a year ago and two years ago, they are surely required still. "The more contentious clauses could be dropped, but we think tho Minister, ought to give Parliament the opportunity of making the amendments that are; obviously-needed. . In ;the meantime, it "is riot surprising that parties to disputes in the ; great. Industries, should be anxious, to have his, assistance in framing agreements," but his experience ought to convince him that: the time, is ripe for tho introduction of a sound conciliation system." .
