TRANSPORT ACT.
UPPER HOUSE FLOUTED. United Press Association—By Electrlo Telegraph—Copyright CANBERRA, March 22. The Senate, by 20 to 7, disallowed the regulations under the Transport Workers’ Act, not giving preference of employment to Australian Watersiders’ Federation members. Immediately after the Senate adjourned, the Executive met, and approved new regulations similar to those just quashed, and later a Gazette announced that the fresh regulations would operate forthwith. The Senate has thus been flouted, but has an opportunity of again expressing disapproval, as the regulations must come before it within 30 days. Sir George Pearce, in moving the disallowance, challenged the Government to seek a double dissolution, which, he said, it had several times t hinted* was desired.
