FEDERAL POLITICS.

THE CENSURE MOTION

BY CA.BLE—PRESS ASSOCIATION—COPYRIGHT.

(Received June 21, 10.10 p.m.)

MELBOURNE, June 21. In the House of Representatives Mr Deakin, Leader of the Opposition, trenchantly covered the points of his motion of censure. Kef erring to the coal vend, he said that the Government had full power to prosecute trusts, and should not lose a moment in obtaining a High Court judgment on such an allimportant matter. 'Touching on strikes, the Government came into power pledtred to secure industrial peace, and had done nothing to fulfil that promise. Its efforts, instead of allying, fomented disputes. The only outlook for peace was in the direction of profit-sharing and co-operation. Pending the adoption of this the best thing was for a nonpolitical commission to deal with business Questions. He severely condemned the Government over the Brisbane strike.
