TRADES UNION TYRANNY.
COMPLAINTS IN VICTORIA. Bitter complaints of trades union tyranny, coercion, intimidation, and persecution were made to tho Victorian Minister for Labour (Sir Alexander Peacock) by a deputation which waited upon him last week. Tho deputation was headed bv Mr. Packer, secretary of the Independent AVorkers' Association. Mr. Packer said that their proposal was that' tho State Parliament should bring in industrial legislation dealing with strikes and lockouts, and imposing penalties for boycotting and picketing. Sir Alexander Peacock, in reply, said that it had struck him that they' were asking him to bring forward legislation for a Stato Arbitration Court when Victoria was free from those troubles which had so bitterly affected New South "Wales, which had such a courtA In New South Wales the workers had eried_ out for an Arbitration Act and had got it, but in Victoria they had far mora peace with their simple wages boards. In regard to this suggestion ho could not express an opinion, but could only promise to bring it beforcf the Cabinet at tho earliest opportunity.
