LABOUR, ETC.
London, Nov. 14. Speaking at the Colonial Institute, Lord Onslow said that without protection the eight hours principle was impossible, unless Australia abandoned the attempt to create factories. Lord Onslow described the rapid development of State Socialism in New Zealand, where the labor leaders on being entrusted with power became imbued with the sense of the responsibility thrown upon them, and were able to resist State charity in the guise of unprofitable work. Patriotism in the colony was very near akin to selfishness. In his opinion it would be dangerour for England to attempt such experiments, since they would involve the abolition of free trade. Mr Gladstone is anxious to see the coal difficulty settled, and has invited the mine-owners and the men to' meet at a conference under the presidency of Lord Rosebery, though he wishes it to be understood that the Foreign Secretary is not to act in the capacity of arbitrator. The newspapers welcome the proposal, and express a hope that both parties will agree to it.
