BILLS INTRODUCED
PRIVATE MEMBERS’ MEASURES. (From Our Parliamentary Reporter.) Wellington, October 26. In moving the introduction of the Industrial Conciliation and Arbitration Amendment Bill No. 3 in the House of Representatives this afternoon, Mr R. McKeen (L., Wellington South) said that the present Act vested authority in a small number of employers to carry out their wishes. His Bill provided that before an award could be cancelled a ballot of all employers affected had to be taken. This would prevent a minority from imposing their will on the majority. Tire action of certain employers was not in the interests of employers as a whole or the welfare of the industry. At the present time employees were required to take a secret ballot before they could cite employers in a dispute and surely if this procedure was good enough for employees it was good enough for employers. The Bill was read a first time. The Judicial Proceedings (Regulation of Reports) Bill was read a second time pro forma and referred to the Statutes Revision Committee. The Bill is sponsored by Mr P. Fraser (L., Wellington Central). Mr M. J. Savage (L., Auckland West) gave notice of his intention to ask for leave to introduce the Auckland City Empowering Bill.
