AFTER THE "SPOILS."
Though we would have preferred a provision exacting from the unions a universal and substantial money guarantee as a condition of the granting of an award, we freely recognise that the amendments in the law, which appear to be approved by all who treat the subject with calm consideration, will go a long way towards solving the problem of the adjustment of capital and labour, says the "Oamaru Mail." We have made a legal advance, and a legal advance means the growth of public sentiment which will familiarise the people with that whnh is right and prepare the way for still higher achievements. The Labour leaders outside Parliament are not entitled to any thanks for what has been done legislatively to protect our industries and our workers, and to save the workers from mischievous counsellors. The y appear to have abandoned themselves to bitterness and strife for the sake of the emoluments and notoriety which are reaped by them from anarchy. It is fortunate that such implacable disturbers of the peace strut more to entertain than to seriously impress.
