By Telegraph—Press Association—Copyright Melbourne, August 9, Tho Senate has adopted a resolution that it is expedient for the Commonwealth Parliament to accept powers to make laws for Australia, as to wages, hours, and conditions of labor.
In the House of Representatives, Mr Barton, replying to tho criticisms of Mr Prior on the Defence Bill, on the Bill being read a second time, said that there was no attempt or desire to do anything that would come in the same category as Continental conscription. They wanted to show tho world what they conld do in case of need, by preserving the principle of the Bill that it was the duty of every man to come forward and serve his country in time of danger.
