A STRONG MAN.
Australia has occasion to be thankful that there is at the head of the Commonwealth during the present industrial upheaval a Prime Minister of the political stamina and moral courage of Mr Bruce. Replying to the demand of the strikers to“ repeal the law compelling the registration and licensing of waterside workers, he unhesitatingly nailed his colours to the mast. He was determined,, he said, to uphold the law and to end the strife on the waterfront. There would be an election in six weeks’ time, and if the people felt that any injustice was being done to the workers they could remove the Governmnet from the control of the affairs of the Commonwealth. There is no doubt or uncertainty about a clear-cut rep y of that nature. Mr Bruce will ° what he deems to be his duty, and stand or fall by his convictions, Me shall be greatly surprised it the public do not welcome his outspokenness and approve his action.
