PROPOSED CONFERENCE
DECLINED BY ME. BRUCE.
, Sydney; sth May. In connection with the forty-four hour trouble, Mr. Bruce, replying to a telegram from Mr. Charlton, Leader of the Federal Opposition, asking that a conference of State and Commonwealth representatives bo summoned to consider uniform hours for Australia, Mr. Bruce said the question was an industrial and economic one, and a decision could only be reached after full inquiry by a competent and impartial tribunal. In order to ensure this, the Government proposed to provide a reconstituted Arbitration Court, with judicial powers. The conference proposed by Mr. Charlton would only introduce political complications, for which reason Mr. Bruce was unable to acquiesce with Mr. Charlton's suggestion.
