CABLE NEWS. (BY ELECTRIC TELEGRAPH.—COPYRIEIGHT.) THE FISCAL PROBLEM.
WORKING MEN'S CONFERENCE. THE APPEAL TO MR WATSON. i r AUSTRALIA'S ATTITUDE CRITICISED. [press association.] (Received October 4, 9.14 a.m.) LONDON, 3rd October. The National Conservative Working Men's Conference, representing Lnncnshire, Cheshire, and West Yorkshire, ut a meeting at Manchester, unanimously resolved that it is absolutely necessary to reconsider the nation's fiscal policy, with a view to the maintenance of trading interests and securing tho employment and social comfort of industrial workers. The • Pall Mall Gazctto says that Messrs. Burns and Bell's appeal to Mr. Watson emphatically confirms Mr. Chamberlain's view regarding the colonies. The Chronicle describes Australia as deaf to reason. So much talk about bargains and preference is, says tho journal, likely to end in bad feeling between the colonies and the Motherland, and emphasises the selfish tendencies which regarded the maintenance of the Empire only as a means of securing sixpence for the pocket.
