IMPERIAL CONFERENCE.
THE EMIGRATION QUESTION. [PER press association—copyright.] LONDON, Feb. 21. The “ Daily Cronicle,” in a leading article, emphasises the importance or the Imperial Conference discussing the question of emigration, and particularly the resolutions to be submitted on behalf of Australia, and the British resoutions regarding the labour exchanges. The Daily Chronicle’s Labour correspondent, commenting on this matter, says:—“The idea is for the Centi'ai Exchange to serve as a clearing house for the Empire’s surplus Labour in various parts of the Empire, and to make frequent reports, the British labour exchanges at the same time arranging for the temporary or permanent transfer of surplus labour to where a demand for labour exists. A factor in the situation making for uncertainty is the attitude of the trades unions and labour leaders, who are believed to be strongly opposed to State-aided emigration of the unemployed. Thus, if the Imperial Conference agrees to the scheme the trade unions only oppose it.”
