In the House of Representatives, Mr Deakin moved a vetq of censure regarding the preference 'to urioni-ts x policy. Ho said the transformation was violent and unprecedented. I reference applied by a political body as part of its political action was absolutely indefensible. Melbourne, September 27, Mr Deakin added that the Ministerial ukase put aside all judicial power, and aimed at justice to nobody. Preference was now pnconditional, and beyond recall. Any union could do what it liked, and use its funds for political purposes to any extent it wanted. The sceptre of tyranny had been placed in the hands of men who had .nofright to use its power. .Mon would be coerced into unions. Mr Fisher, in reply, stated that the Government had taken the step clelibV erately. The policy would be' pursued until the Government saw some bettor methods of doing things. The Government intended to organise industrialism as far as possible. It was bound to give preference to unionists. Whether the people agreed or disagreed would not influence those who believed in this principle.
