THE LANG GOVERNMENT
DEFEAT IN THE COUNCIL ARBITRATION BILL AMENDMENT (United Press Association.) (By Electric Telegraph—Copyright.) SYDNEY, February 25. The Government was defeated in the Council on the first of its vital amendments to the Industrial Conciliation and Arbitration Bill. A motion for the reinsertion in the measure of the principle of a sole commissioner was rejected by 48 votes to 38. The Federal Labour Group voted against the Government. The Bill now provides for a Bench of three judges, as recommended by a select committee. * INTEREST OBLIGATIONS. SYDNEY, February 25. Mr Lang despatched another telegram to Mr Lyons relating to the payment of New South Wales interest overseas. The Premier alleged in the telegram that it was necessary to exercise caution when dealing with the Prime Minister. Mr Lang further alleged that the latest reasons given by Mr Lyons for refusing to consider the request of New South Wales for Treasury Bills for £500,000 were not those stated by the Assistant Treasurer (Mr Bruce) in enunciating the Commonwealth’s policy when dealing with the requests of Western Australia and Tasmania for accommodation.
