ARBITRATION A FAILURE.

AUSTRALIAN EXPERIENCE. By Electric Telegraph.—Copyright. (Received April 12, 9.45 a.m.) LONDON, April 11. Mr. T. AYaddell, of Sydney, in a. letter in the Times, commenting on a statement by Mr. Harvey, M.P., that arbitration had been a failure in Australia says that Mr. Harvey told the naked truth. Human ingenuity never devised a fairer tribunal than the wages’ board, yet nearly all the larger unions had flouted the law. Anyone would he blind if ho believed the arbitration was otherwise than a gigantic failure in Australia. Arbitration legislation would he scattered like chaff if a depression came. The moat hopeful indication, ho says, is the growing public feeling against tyrannous unionism.
