THE ARBITRATION BILL.
There are still plenty of people in Australia who would . not mind coming to New Zealand for JEIO per week for the privilege of persuading the workers that they are a deluded and sorely-oppressed class, and that there is no "absolute justice" in the land. The workers may fall into the snare, and again there will be trouble, in which the principle of arbitration will go to the wall. The Hon. Mr Sinclair affirms that there is no country in the world where the worker is better cared for than in New Zealand, and when the workers take advantage of the benefits of the Arbitration Act they are an honour bound to submit to and abide by the awards. This sentiment of "honour" of which the hon. gentleman speaks should always have obtained, but he must know there ha 3 been no sentiment of the kind. However, remarks the "Taranaki News," it is assuredly nice to find hon. gentlemen speaking in hopeful and confident tones, and it is hoped their aspirations in connection with the Bill will be realised.
