EIGHT HOURS BILL.
On going into committee with this measure, Mr Taylor, the member in charge, positively refused to accept any amendments, saying he would have the whole Bill and nothing but the Bill, or nothing. The consequence was that hon. members who had supported the second reading; and were convinced that the principlo of eight hours was right, but thought the eight hours could not constitute the day's work in the case of agricultural and farm labourers, shearers, and shepherds, left the hon. member one by one, and Mr Samuol's proposal thab the chairman do leave the chair was eventually carried. This, of course, means killing the Bill for thjs session.
