INDUSTRIAL POLICY
ARBITRATION OR CONCILIATION?
There are wide differences in the policies of the Nationalists and the Country partie® in respect to measures for the maintenance of industrial peace (says the “Sydney Morning Herald’,’). The Nationalist Party, while declaring its belief in the desirability of conciliation 1 committees, yet maintains that behind all conciliation must be the rule of law, and that consequently there must be some form, of compulsory arbitration. The evils of the present overlapping of jurisdictions are admitted by Nationalist members. The Country Party, on the other hand, stands unreservedly for-the establishment of conciliation committees and wages boards -without compulsory powers for the settlement of industrial disputes, to take the place of the present system, of arbitration. It believes that industrial peace oan be brought about better by conciliation as against the present system of compulsory arbitration, which its members claim has proved to be a failure.
