Mr Beeby said he regretted the labourers' action, but botih sides were to blame. The owners fought the granting of an increased rate, yet they granted a.n increase in Melbourne. If the owners were more candid, the results would be different. He hoped soon !fco pass an ajnending Act, to enable liim to deal with similar difficulties. Past efforts had been spoiled by has opponents endeavouring to make political capital, out of them. AN INCREASE GRANTED. Received This Morning, 12.48 o'clock. SYDNEY, January 16.
