THE ARBITRATION ACT.

THE PROPOSED CHANGES,

OPPOSITION OF WORKERS. By Telegraph—Press Association. Wellington, Last Night. A deputation from workers’ organisations waited on the Hon. G. J. Anderson (Minister for Labor) to-day to protest against the proposed amendments of the Arbitration Act. Strong objections were taken to them and it was claimed they were all in favor of the employers. The workers had not asked for any of the amendments. One member said they were going to oppose the Bill tooth and nail, regardless of whether it became law or not. It was now a question of whether the workers’ organisations were to be killed outright or the Government was to ■be called off.

The Minister said the Bill was to be considered by a committee to-morrow. He had heard their evidence and could compliment them on the way they had put their case. He was not prepare to say what he would do now, but he would take into very careful consideration what they had said, more especially with reference to assessors, local bodies and clause 11.

He did not think the penalty clause would operate n the way thev said. He was legally .1 vised it would not and he would not think of making such an absurd provision. He would also look into the question of Court representation, but they could hold out very little hope of alteration. With regard to the A.S.R.S. he thought he would consult the Minister for Railways on the point.
