EIGHT HOURS' DAY.
A PROTEST AGAINST SYNDICALISM. By Cable—Press Association—Copyright Melbourne, April 23. Eight Hours' Day was celebrated by the usual procession and sports. There was fine weather. At the luncheon, Mr. Pearce, referring to the Labor policy, declared that the party was against immigration when there was 110 land to offer newcomers. He was not sure that the progressive land tax had done all they thought it would but the Government had determined that the land monopoly must ibe removed. Dealing with arbitration, he said the system had not yet had a fair trial. He uttered a word of warning against a small section of trades unionists who were striving after syndicalism which, was a foolish and hysterical idea. He appealed to workers not to let this small section attain influence.
