FEDERAL POLITICS.
Received September 3, 0.27 a.m. MELBOURNE, September 2. In the Federal House, Mr Watson (the leader of the Labour party) moved to refer the Bonus Bill to a Select Committee. He considered that it was necessary before granting a bonus to the iron industry to obtain definite information on all aspects of the question. Mi' Kingston declared that the Government would heartily oppose the appoint-, ment of a committee. The House had the information, the Senate had endorsed the Government proposal, and to.postpone the matter would wreck the proposals. After a lengthy discussion Mr Watson's motion was carried by 30 to 15. Mr Deakin -thereupon declared that he was compelled to move the adjournment of the House, but he hoped members would attend to-morrow to discuss the Senate's tariff message. The House adjourned.
