A number of bookmakers waited upon the members of the Labour Party in tho South Australian Parliament to protest against having their occupations taken away by the Government enforcing clause 2of the Totalisator Act. They asked the labour members to assist in having the clause repealed. The metallicians pointed out that the totalisator was among objectionable monopolies which should not exist. The labour members said they were opposed to monopolies, and, as the totalisator was one, they were willing to amend the clause. Mr McPherson refused to pledge himself to move in the matter. The members of the Labour Party promised to consult and seo what could be done, and if any proposal was made to the House they would consider the matter favourably.
