BRUCE MINISTRY’S DANGER.
(Australian Press Assn.) (By Cable—Press Assn—Copyright.)
CANBERRA, August 27.
The Bruce Government’s position on the Arbitration Court Abolition Bill is by no means assured, as the result of the defection of Mr W. M. Hughes and Mi' Marin.
The latest Government members to announce their intention to vote against the measure are Messrs Maxwell and Stewart, which reduces the Government’s normal majority to four. At least five other Government members are regarded as doubtful, and it is not unlikely that the Speaker will be called upon to resolve the situation.
A section of the press is demanding that Mr W. M. Hughes should resign and face the electors. The Federal outlook is regarded as being full of possibilities.
