NEW GERMANY.
COUNCILS OF WORKERS. OUTCOME OF THE REVOLUTION. By Telepaph.—Press Assn.—Copyright. p Received Dec. 7, 5.5 p.m. London, Dec. 3. The Berlin correspondent of the Daily Chronicle states that one of the most important results of the revolution is tho Industrial Councils Bill about to be considered by the German Parliament.
Out of the Soldiers' and Workers' Councils, which were active during the early months of the revolution, there hare grown Industrial Councils representing workers of practically all trades. These have largely lost their political character, owing to increased economio I importance, and the Government is now seeking to legalise them. It has been agreed that all parties in the Councils shall be represented on all the Boards of Directors in order to champion the workmen's views, the workers' delegates being under an oath of silence regarding business secrets. It has also been decided that balance sheets will be handed to the Councils periodically. A big divergence of opinion, however, has arisen owing to Socialist members of the Cabinet desiring the reforms to be carried much further.—Aus.-N.Z. Ca«le Assn.
