INDUSTRIAL LEGISLATION.
LIKELY TO BE DROPPED. ( PRESS VIEWS ON GOVERN- " MENT'S ACTION. ! (Received January 30th. 12.5 a.m.) ' LONDON, January 29. ' Renter's Cape Town agent says that the opening of Parliament on the 30th inst. is awaited with extraordinary interest. The crisis has brought the English and Dutch into remark- i able sympathy, which was strikingly illustrated by public meetings and Fraternisations dnring the mobilisation. The Government's first duty is to obtain an indemnity. It is doubtful whe- * ther the Government will proceed with j the Bills legalising and controlling ] trades unions,.and dealing with industrial disputes. Tho strike was really a protest against those Bills, and the i
Government is likely to postpone industrial legislation until public passions have subsided. The Cape "Argus" says that the Government has incurred a grave responsibility, and it will be nothing short of a national calamity if recent happenings encourage the evil spirit of Bureaucracy. Tho Capo "Times" considers the deportations unjustifiable legr-lly, but justifiable on tho grounds of commonsense and public safety. It recalls the New Zealand authorities giving notice to agitators, to quit their districts.
