THE ARBITRATION ACT.
The Advisory Board of the Farmers' Union has rightly determined that the first step towards putting a stop to the industrial turmoil is to wipe out the Arbitration and Conciliation Act. This measure, though 'it has the employer in its clutches,. is treated with open contempt and derision by the workers of the Dominion. As a means of preventing strikes, for which it was originally designed, it has proved an absolute and litter failure. The only use to which' it is now put.is to threaten, terrify, and brow-beat the employer. Every right-thinking man and woman in the community will agree that a measure which is used for purposes of oppression only should be removed from the Statute "Book.
