WORK AND WAGES.

“TRADE UNIONIST CANT.’’ (Received 9.0 a.m.) London, February 23. Mr G. W, Barnes, during an address at Memorial Hall, said he'was amazed at the amount' of cant talked by trade unionists. They fulminated at congresses against sweating, and yet caused it by buying sweated goods. KING O’MALLEY AND BOODLERS. (Received 9.25 a.m.) Sydney, February 2-f. The Hon. Mr O’Malley (Minister for Home Affairs) says the Labour Union advised against strikes and only played into the hands of hoodlers. Personally, he never did half a day’s work; he was one of those who schemed, and who had been able to make boodle to some little extent without manual labour. Tire boodler made money by learning how to make workers work. What the hoodlers wanted was a great financial crisis or a great strike before the Federal elections. THE INFLUX OF FOREIGNERS. Adelaide, February 24. The officials of the Labour Unions at Port Pirie complain of the increasing influx of foreigners, who are pushing the British out of jobs. It is declared Russian and Italian secret societies existed. The recently-unsuccessful Norwegian whaling expedition swelled the ranks by discharging a crew of thirty Norwegians.
