POLITICAL CRISIS LOOMING.
Federal Cabinet In Danger. OPPOSITION TO ARBITRATION COURT PROPOSALS. (United Press Association—By Electric Telegraph—Copyright.) (Received August 27, 10.30 p.m.) CANBERRA, August 27 The Government's position on the Arbitration Court Abolition Bill is by no means assured as the result of the defection of Mr Hughes and Mr Mann. The latest Government members to announce their intention to vote against the measure are Messrs Maxwell and Stewart, which reduces the Government's normal majority to four. At least five other Government members are regarded as doubtful, and It is not unlikely the Speaker will be called upon to resolve the situation. A section of the Press is demanding that Mr Hughes should resign and face the electors. The Federal political outlook is regarded as full of possibilities.
