BILL TO ABOLISH COURT.
No Faith In Arbitration. AFTERMATH OF AUSTRALIAN UPHEAVALS. (United Press Association—By Electrlo Telegraph—Copyright.) (Received August 23, 8.35 p.m.) CANBERRA, August 23. The Prime Minister to-day moved the second reading of a Bill to abolish the Federal Arbitration Court. Mr Bruce said the Government was determined to evacuate the field of industrial regulation, save in respect of the shipping and waterside industries. The Government found the attitude of the various unions was such that it was impossible to enforce the penalties under the Court’s awards. Moreover, those under the awards accepted them only when it suited, and resorted to direct action when it seemed likely they could get more benefits than from the Court. The States would now have full control of their industrial problems, and be free from the present trammels to use whatever methods were best suited to their individual interests. The Bill provided for the control of the maritime industry by a number of committees, and the present judges of the Arbitration Court will become associated with the maritime industry. The debate on the Bill was adjourned.
