FIGHT TO THE LAST [FeOM Gun i’AItI.UMENXiIty- ReI'ORTEB.} WELLINGTON, September 11. Snell is l!ic attitude of the minority of the members in the House opposed to the Summer Time Hill, on which there was further work in committee 10-day. “ Arc those in opposition prepared to light on till breakfast time, knowing that they are hopelessly outnumbered?” Mr Samuel was asked by your representative to-day. “I can’t say,” he replied. “It depends on what happens. J 1 alter we have made a reason:'.!)! yhard light we are appealed to iroiu all sides of the House from the rime Minister down we might consider throwing in the sponge, hut not otherwise.” Mrl* Samuel said that those in opposition to tne Hill were not satisfied that the Hailway Department could make adequate _ arrangements to meet the difficulties which would be imposed on dairy fanners by the Summer Time Hill. Hut in about four nlaces it was impossible to adjust the time-tables, and*the consequence wodld be that those dairymen affected would have to work an extra hour every morning. The minority opposing the Hill regard this as class legislation, and are resolved to fight it on principle. Mr Sidey, being assured of a majority, will not, it is understood, accept any amendments other than those mentioned in committee previously.
