LABOUR LEGISLATION.
A STRONG PROTEST. [*Y TELEGRAPH. —PRESS ASSOCIATION.] Wellington, Friday. The Wellington Employers' Association has unanimously adopted the following resolution :—"That it be a recommendation from tins association to the x-euerution Advisory Board that a strong deputation representing tue federation and employers be appointed to wait upon the Premier as soon after the opening of Parliament as can be arranged, to make the strongest of protests against the passing of important amendments to existing statutes at the very close of the Parliamentary sessions, and more especially against the amendment to the Workers' Compensation for Accidents Act and the amendment to the Mining Act (making eight hours' work in mines count from the time the workman enters underground workings to the time he leaves them), and against the action of the Legislature in ignoring the recommendations of the Labour Bills Committees, and in passing this amendment after the matter had been adjudicated upon by the Arbitration Court, and in direct opposition to its fully considered decision and judgment.
