Labor Legislation.
THE BRAKE NEEDED, (By Telegraph—-Press Association.) Wellington, last night. The annual meeting of the Palmerston North Chamber of Commerce was held last evening. The President in his address dealt with the Liberal and Labor legislation of the present Government, stating that it had gone far enough. It had done good work and corrected abuses, but there was an indication of the pendulum taking too far a swing. Moreover, the labor demands made under the tegis of the Arbitration and Conciliation Act revealed much as to the scope of labor expectation, and the Factories Act Amendment Bill held out q menace' that might well frighten' capital and enterprise from the country. Every Chamber of Commerce in New Zealand should watch the present trend of class legislation, and strenuously withstand it when partial, unjust, or prejudicial to the interests of the country.
