NATIONAL SERVICE.
(From Our Own Correspondent.) .Wellington, April 15. The Government got its national service clause through unaltered, after the Labor members had occupied another hour or two in protest. The fight was by 110 means a bitter one at any stage, and there is a feeling in the lobbies that an agreement ought to have been reached. ,The Labor members wanted legislative guarantee that lio transfer of workers from one industry to another would be undertaken for private profit. The Ministers accepted this principle, ,and stated their willingness to embody it in the regulations. But they would not have a proviso in the Bill* for fear it should weaken the scheme.
It seems unlikely in any case that the national service regulations will come into operation before the next session of Parliament, when, in accordance with a section added oil the motion of Sir Joseph Ward, they are to be submitted for ratification or rejection by the members.
