THE PAY IN PARLIAMENT
Memberi of tht Hous« of Representatives did a fair mixture of talking and working yesterday,. In the afternoon the Opposition sections of the House devoted an hour and a half in giving Ministers a "wigging"' for a propensity to absent themselves" from the Chamber instead of remaining to listen to the words of wisdom—or unwisdam—which rain : down from hour to hour and day to day. A certain amount of progress was made in Committee on the "Washing-up Bill" in .the'evening, and the Industrial Conciliation and Arbitration Bill was passed after Labour members had protested against the inclusion of the clause giving the right of registration to the Railway Tradesmen's Association,: their contention being that it was a provision intended to "burst up" the A.S.E.S. Before the' House adjourned at 1.57 a.m., it passed the Samoa.(Shipping) Bill, and tho Forests Amendment and Government Bailways Amendment Bills. ■: The passage four. Bills at one sitting is an evidence that the House lias its eyo on the near approach of the end of the session. '■ " ' .■.• .;' !'..,■'
