PREFERENCE TO UNIONISTS.
Our local contemporary has taken up the cudgels on behalf of Ma- G. R. Sykes. an the matter of preference to unionists. This, is rather a potty, as bfi's. (friends had hoped that the Reform candidate was' able to defend hfausel. We .shouiHd he 'sorry indeed to team, that the views of Mr' Sykes are those outlined: by our contemporary. Auxj we to beOlieve that- the candidate favours suclr an utterly nonsensical! thing as the preference clause in-the printers' machinists' awaird? If he does, then his position is (indefensible. We refuse .to believe that tho Reform candidate can conscientiously support preference to unionists, wQuch, if it means anytJiliaig at all, means the creation (of a monopoly by coercion'. Our local contemporary may like the preference clause—the average employer does 1 not. And the ,fairmen will not have it at any, price. If our con temporary Ims the interest of Ma- Sykes sincerely at heart, (it will advise Mm ito modify his pronouncements on. this subject.
