AUSTRALIAN ARBITRATION
AMENDING BILL DISCUSSED. By Telegraph—Press Assn.—Copyright. Australian Press Association. United Service. Canberra, May 18. Mr. Bruce, in the House of Representatives, replying to criticism of the amending Arbitration Bill, reviewed the industrial position in Australia. He said that things could not be allowed to go on exactly as they were going. The trade unions had become political in their aspirations, and some leaders who had found themselves possessed of great power were using it in a manner not intended in the original trade union objective. The Bill would enable trade unionism to occupy the position it deserved.
Mr. W. M. Hughes secured a.n adjournment. Replying to a question, Mr. Bruce said that the Government was well posted in regard to the proposal to hold the pan-Paeific Trades Union Congress in Australia. There was not the slightest chance of its being allowed to assemble in Australia.
