PICKING-UP PLACES. THE POSITION IN AUSTRALIA. (United Press Association.) , CBy Electric Telegraph— Copyright.) CANBERRA, May 10. The Senate, by 22 votes to G, agreed to a motion by the Leader of the Opposition (Senator Pearce) for the disallowance of the regulations providing for a single picking-np place for union and volunteer wharf labourers in Melbourne. UNIONISTS AND PREFERENCE. AMENDMENT OP ACT DESIRED. CANBERRA, May 10. (Received May 16, at 10 p.m.) The Senate rejected the Government’s regulation for altering the picking-up places, the object of which was to deprive volunteer wharf labourers of the advantages won during the last upheaval. The Government is now being pressed by militants to introduce a straight-out amendment to the Transport Workers’ Act, giving waterside unionists preference, which quite recently Mr Justice Beeby refused.
