PREFERENCE TO SOLDIERS.
SHOULD IT CONTINUE’ CONTROVERSY IN AUSTRALIA. By Telegraph.—Press Assn.—Copyright Sydney, Nov. 25. The Bill terminating preference of employment to soldiers, fathered by Mr. Cann, Minister of Mines, himself a returned soldier, was met with bitter opr position, particularly from the soldier members on the Opposition side. The chief reason advanced in support of the Bill were that the position in regard to returned men had become normal, and therefore there was no need to continue the preference, and that the employment of returned* men unable to perform work largely increased its cost. Another argument was that men wearing returned badges were placed at a disadvantage in obtaining work, employers regarding the' badges as an indication that they had lost their ability. The opponents described the Bill as scandalous, and declared the whole attitude of the Government was to deny not only soldiers, but the loyalists who stood by them and the preference due to them.
