LABOUR LEGISLATION. SYDNEY, August 29.
State Labour Ministers will not bo sorry to see the referenda campaign in full swing, for it is about the orjV tiling at present can divert public attention from the Workers’ Compensation Act, and from other aspects of State politics upon which the antiLabour Press is focussing the spotlight.
Country Labour meiiihers especially, feeling perturbed at the effects of the Compensation Act in the rural constituencies. are now recognising that the latest session, instead of being essentially an industrial one, should liayc
heen devoted to the interests of the primary producers. If the Government has any respect for the rural vote, it will give the overworked Minister for Labour (Mr Raddeley) a spell in the coming session and allow the- Minister for Lands (Mr Loughlin) a little limelight. The latter is not only a good administrator but is heard with respect in the House by all Parties.
