Mr F.eoby, explaining the new industrial legislation, said it would provide conciliation committees independent of the Wages Boards. The Arbitration Court, he believed, would have the effect of maintaining a continuity of industrial operations. If the men struck without giving tire Department notice, they would bo liable to a heavy penalty. Local permanent conciliation 'committees would be established in all-large mining centres. It was proposed to simplify the procedure, particularly that under which the Boards were created, • and place the appointment’ of Boards in the hands of the Governor, with the advice of tho Executive. The Arbitration Courts would bo maintained, with additional judges if necessary. Litigation arising out of the Employers’ Liability and Workmen’s Compensation Act would be vested in the Arbitration Court. Industries would bo grouped, instead of Boards for different sections, and thus prevent overlapping. The last Government s Industrial Disputes Act, would bo repoaied. Awards-would operate automatically in the Government service. Preference to unionists would remain sit the option of the Court. Boards would bo unable to make awards, but could make recommendations to the Court. Participants in an unlawful strike would be subject to fines, with no alternative imprisonment. Fines were enforcibln by garnishee on wages. Unions aiding and abetting in any unlawful strike would be liable to a line of £IOOO, and their union registrations cancelled, as also the awards under which their members wore reaping benefits. The Act would not, cover any Organisation not registered. The Government would have power, in case of a strike, to take a secret ballot as to whether it should contiuuc. Mr Wade considered the Bill fully justified tk.c legislation by Ids Government.
