The Iron and Steel Wire Manufacturers’ Association states that British manufacturers greatly sympathise with the Australian steel interests in endeavouring to protect themseivns ; c.ainst grossly unfair competition fr.'in tire Continent that is based on a lei el -if v.ages that is little moi’? than n;:H of those ruling in Britain and almost unrestricted working hours. The Association suggests that an import duty might be imposed on Continental material such as would reflect the relation between the labour conditions on the Continent and those in Australia. The British manufacturers would cordially welcome any proposals for cooperation with the Australian manufacturers, as they recognise that Australia's policy is that its local makers shall have the first consideration, and the British manufacturers only expect to handle the surplus which the local works cannot undertake.
