There would be a Washing-up Bill of thirty or forty clauses ; a Commercial Trusts, Bill, dealing with the cost of living; a small Arbitration Bill, which the Premier said he was not going to push, which dealt with victimisation at the Auckland and Greymouth w&terfrorts.

About the Local Elections Bill on the order paper he was doubtful. Mr. Wilford asked if a National E«A serves Bill would be passed. The Premier replied that there wa» a probability of provision being mad» in the Defence Bill. MEMBERS AMUSED. " I do not say that those are the whole of the Bills," said Mr. Massey, and laughter greeted the remark. "A» far a* I can ascertain, however, it is, all I intend -to proceed with. Member* have suggested it is not possible to get through by next week, and I candidly admit that if we don't do better than last night we shall be here another four weeks. None of the Bilk are of any 'great importance. They are all small, and we can do justice to them at th© rate of seven or eight a. day." Mr. Wilford : If they are tactfully handled they will go through. (Laughter.) Mr. Massey : I have no reason to complain of the reception of the Bills bandied by me, and I think my colleagues are tactful. j Dr. Thacker : Will we work on Saturday ? ! Mr. Massey : We might have to. (Cries of "Yes!" and "No!") All I can say is that an opportunity will be given to those members in charge of local Bills. A member : What day ? Mr. Maesey : I am not able to say now. A member : Saturday morning? (Cries of "Yes!" and "No 1 ") Mr. Massey : "As for sitting on Saturday, it will depend upon the business done between now and then." He added that hg hoped to get through this day week.
