ARBITRATION.
Speaking at a political meeting at Eltham on Tuesday evening last, Sir Joseph Ward said that the Arbitration Act should be amended, not abolished. He was against imprisonment, which would make heroes of the men imprisoned, as it had of the English suffragettes. He advocated the abolition of the clause providing for imprisonment and making as perfect as possible the machinery for collecting fines. The Government was not responsible lor the imprisonment of Mr Dixon at Auckland, or for the non-imprisonment of the Blackball miners. That was the result of the Courts taking their own course.
