Delusion, Deceit, Fraud
LANG’S ARBITRATION BILL Received Tuesday, 9.50 p.m. SYDNEY, March 17. At a crowded meeting at Adyar hall to protest against Mr. Lang’s Arbitration Bill, Mr. J. C. Watson, former Labour Prime Minister, described the measure as a delusion, a deceit and a fraud. Mr. Watson referred to Justice Piddington as a theorist lacking the practical qualifications necessary for the contral of industry. The meeting which was held under the auspices of the Chamber of Manufacturers, protested against the Bill because it deprives manufacturers and employers of the management and control of their businesses and will seriously interfere with the carrying on and development of existing industries, prevent the establishment or new ones, will drive trade from this State and seriously increase unemployment.
