FEDERAL PARLIAMENT.
FODDEB DUTIES. By Telegraph—Press Association—Copyright Melbourne, June 13. The Federal House Monthly Supply Bill has passed all stages. During the debate the Government were badly heckled over the non-suspension of the fodder duties. Mr Fuller, in order to test the feeling of the Committee, and as an instruction to Government to remit the fodder duties, moved to reduce supply by one pound. Mr Deakin reiterated that it would please the Federal Government to do so, but they were unable to act owing to the States not being unanimous in the demand for suspension. If all had demanded it the Government would have faced the difficulty and taken all risk. Under the circumstances they could do nothing, but there were several ways by which the States could give relief. Mr Fuller’s motion was negatived by 22 to 7.
