MINISTERIAL WEAKNESS.
Sir, —If ' the Arbitration Act cannot b(" totally repealed during the coming . session! I would like to suggest that it bo amended, so that in the-event of a strike all those'employees taking part !in it\ and all members of other unions aiding and abetting the same should bo deprived of their voting powers at tho'following geperal election. This would enable'a weak-kneed Ministry like the present to enforco the'law instead of shirking the situation, as. they have undoubtedly done of .late, because' the ■ country .is on thei eve" of-a general election, and votes-would be sacrificed if the law was faithfully and fairly administered. There is no doubt we employers are on toast, and the employees will gradually consumo' us - altogether unless we rally at the coming election,, and put .better and_ very much more fearless drivers on our ministerial coaches.—l- am, etc., • EMPLdm: Bulls, June 12. .
