THE FEDERAL PREMIER.

MR. FISHER IN NEW ZEALAND. Sydney, December 31. The Telegraph, commenting on Mr. Fisher's confession that the unions in Australia spend half their time in endeavoring to circumvent the constitution in older to get to the Federal Arbitration Court, says: "What Mr, Fisher means is that if the proposed constitutional amendments are carried the road to the central authority will be made open without restriction.
