FEDERAL POLITICS
PREFERENCE ABOLITION BILL. A PLAIN DECLARATION. (By C_.b.«_.—Press Association.—Copyrieat.. MELBOURNE, November 19. In the House, Mr Lowe, speaking against, the Preference Abolition Bill (to abolish preference to unionists in tho State employ), said: —"I am going to stand by the right to Strike. It is good for mc and my people. I care not for your laws. We aro going to fight. If your Arbitration and Conciliation Courts can help us wo will accept them, but I am not concerned with industrial peace. If I cannot get industrial justice for the people by arbitration, I shall get it by means of my fellows. I hope my people will stand by mc." He characterised tho Bill as a deliberate attempt to break up the union forces, and an attempt to divorce tho political and industrial aspects of trade unionism.
