“BLACK WITH PORTENTS”
MR. HUGHES SEES PERIL LOOMING ARBITRATION ABOLITION Reed. 9.5 a.m. SYDNEY, Today. Mr. W. M. Hughes, addressing the Chamber of Manufacturers, described the proposal of the Prime Minister, Mr. Stanley Bruce, to abolish the Arbitration Court as reactionary, unwarranted, and unauthorised. He hoped Parliament would disapprove of it. The Government, he added, had abandoned its post. What would become of the hundreds of thousands of men now working under and loyally obeying the Federal awards? The heavens were black with portents of disaster; but at the height of the tempest Mr. Bruce had left the bridge and handed over the wheel to somebody else.
