LABOUR LEADER ON PREFERENCE.

Press Association —Copyright. Mblbqubne, May 7,

Mr Frondevgast, loader of the Labour Party, in a speech said tho people were creatures of those who were pleading preferential trade, tho same people who led them into the Boer war. Of all the resolutions submitted in favour of preferential not one was designed for tho benefit of the people. They were all for traders. Tho sort of preferential trade English capitalists wanted was the kind they sent their soldiers out to got for them. They had their hands on nearly everything in Australia and - every time they got a show they cut down wages and increased the hours of labour, so as to create bigger dividends. If people put up with that sort of foreign government they would be doing an injustice to themselves.
