ARBITRATION SYSTEM
DISSATISFACTION IN AUSTRALIA
MACHINERY TOO SLOW. [United Frees Assn.—By CableCopyright.) [Australian aud N.Z. Press Assn.l (Received 24, 10.45 a.m.) Canberra, May 23. Speaking on the Amending Arbitration Bill, Mr. Rogers (Victoria) said that the central compulsory arbitration system in Australia had failed and the time had arrived for the Commonwealth to surrender to the States the absolute control of their industries. The Australian people, he said, were seized with the opinion that the great central compulsory arbitration system was a great caterpillar-like instrument, which arrived two years after the dispute had been going on. The Government permitted tho secondary industries to enjoy a high social standard, while the primary industries languished in poverty.. The States in 1914, he contended, owed £330.000,000 at 72/6 per cent, interest. To-day they owed £640,000,000 at 88/2 per cent, interest. This was explained by the present new social standard, and there was not enough money in industry to support it. The debate was adjourned.
