ARBITRATION BILL
SYSTEM IN AUSTRALIA. CENTRAL CONTROL CRITICISED. 1 ‘ C ATER PI LL A R-LIK E IN ST RU - MENT.” (United Press Association.—By Electric Telegraph.—Copyright.) Received May 24, 10.35 a.m. CANBERRA, May 24. Speaking on the Amending Arbitration Bill Mr Rogers, of Victoria, said that the central compulsory arbitration system in Australia had failed. The time had arrived for the Commonwealth to surrender to the States absolute control of their industries. The Australian people 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 gone.” The Government permtted secondary industries to onjoy a high social standard, while the primary industries lanowed £330,000.0(10 at £3 12s 6d per cent, interest, today they owed £640,000,000 at £4 -Is 2d 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.
