Labor Union a"ents, living in the cities, continually stir up strife in the country districts, and make demands upon country industries, which, if acceded to. would ruin them, Your petitioners point Out that these demands are vexatious, and have a direct tendency to restrict and injure trade.

Industrial Conciliation and Arbitration Act, PS now constituted, is manifestly injurious to country interests, and therefore seek relief from its operations and clt'ect"We, therefore, pray that you will take the necess:iTV steps to have the Act repealed or so amended, that in Ihe country districts it shall be made permissive, Ihe enforcement, or repeal, of its provisions being dependent on a vote of the tradesmen and workers concerned.
