LONDON, January 3: ' At the conference of Trade Un-i-.sns, Mr Henderson, of the House of Commons, moved the adoption of a , report recommending the acceptance of the Trade Union Bill, under protest, as an instalment only. He urged that the bill's powers should be used in strengthening the Labour iVuty'is position, and when minorities were converted into trade un- ' ionises to go with united front to \ Parliament and obtain a reversal of : the Osborno judgment. Mr Stephen "Wal-sh, also of the House of i Commons, in seconding the motion, declared that the bill restored .a substantial degree of the position hold I before tho Osborno judgment was given. Another degelate declared ; that if the present bill was accepted , the Government would not reverse I the 'Oisborno judgment; labour al- ' ways was getting "instalments," never its full demands. i Mr Sinillie feared that acceptance of instalments would retard a reI vorso of tho Osborno judgment for many years. Tho bill proved that tho Government distrusted tho Labour Party. Tho motion was caiv- ' lied by 3Jβ to 76.

TARIFF REFORM. LONDOX, 'January 3. The Times says that, without taxing food, preference might be conceded on luxuries such as wine, tobacco, or manufactures which the colonies could supply under the stimulus of a moderate tariff, and also the possibilities of preference in telegraphic and postal rates, as well as credit finance, the latter, perhaps, being the most important. Sir Edgar Speyer, of the firm of Spoyer Bros., calculates that tho overseas dominions now receive financial preference of 1 per cent., which is equivalent to ten millions annually.

LONDON BUTTER TRADE,

LONDON, January 3

The cabled summary of Sir George .Reid's butter report has aroused dissent in Tooley street. Mr E. J. Newton, a member of the colonial committee, explained to an interviewer that a committee of dairy members watched the trend of the market and visited the stores to in--spect shipments. The committeesometimes called in selling agents in consultation, and informed sellers what it considered a fair working basis whenever the market showed that a change in price wois imminent.

Sir George Grey's report, laid on the bible of Federal 'House in December, showed that conditions were very unsatisfactory, ami unless unscrupulous practices which are universally followed were checked would result in permanent injury.
