FEDERAL JEALOUSY.
The Usual Jeremiad.
[BY ELECTRIC TELEGRAPH. —COPYRIGHT.!
(PER PRESS ASSOCIATION)
Sydney, July 12.
Replying to a doputatim protesting against the Interstate Commission Bill, the Premier said that he felt certain in the Commission Bill there was no intention of doing anything inimical to shipping. Sir W Lyne, who was present, thought (hat the shippers were taking unnecessary fright. Underlying the whole thing was the question of one State trying to divert trade from another State, They could rest assured that shipping interests would not be interfered with in the way supposed. The shipping companies of other States were similarly up in arms against the Bill,
A deputation representative of the whole coastal and oversea shipping companies waited on the Premier in reference to the Bill, and complained that the Bill went beyond the four corners of the Constitution Act and was most arbitrary. It would strangle the shipping trade. The representative of the Peninsular Co. voiced the views of the oversea shippers. Many clauses were worded in such a manner that it seemed to say, “ The sooner you sever your connection with Australian trade the bolter.” They would bring the people they intended to benefit to ruin.
