ARBITRATION BILL
("Post" Special Commissioner.)
LABOUR PARTY MAINTAINS DREARY DEBATE ON MEASURE POSSIBLE USE OF CLOSURE
WELLINGTON, last night. The second reading to-day of the Industrial Conciliation and Arbitration Ameridment Bill continued to drag on, and to-night, the House of Representatives devoted another session to reiterating threadbare arguments. It is evident that Labour will contest the Bill at every stage, and the first indication of a sheaf of amendments, which the Opposition proposes to introduce, was given to-night. when Mr. J. McCombs (Labour, Lyttleton) moved that the Bill be referred back to the Government with the recommendation that it be re-drafted in order to preserve the esseritial feature of the New Zealand arhitration law, namely, the settlement of industrial disputes by compulsory arhitration in the small percentage of industrial disputes in which settlement is not arrived at by agreement or conciliation. The House will continue the debate to-morrow, and it will not be surprising if the Prime Minister applies the closure during the sitting.
