NEW LABOUR BILL.
The Labour Bills Committee of the House of Representatives reported yesterday on the Industrial Conciliation and Arbitration Bill, introduced earlier in the session. The committee recommended that Part (i, and Sections 154, 158, and 165 of Part 7 only be proceeded with, and that the Minister bring down a new Bill containing these parts. The parts of the BUI referred to apply only to societies of workers who are not bound by an award of the Arbitration Court, and to the employers of such workers. Briefly, the Act provides that workers must give notice of their intention to strike, a»d on receipt of the notice the Minister must refer the dispute to a Eabour Disputes Committee. If the committee fail to effect a settlement in fourteen days, then a secret ballot of the workers must be taken under the supervision of the Registrar before the workers can strike legally. Penalties are provided for unlawful strikes, and also it is made a punishable offence to aid and abet an unlawful strike or lock-out. Mutatis the same provisions apply to lockouts, but the penalties for unlawful lock-outs are higher than tor unlawful strikes.
