Tlio Attorney-General (Mr W. M. Hughes), replying to criticisms of his remaiks at the Victoria Railway Union/ "(Social," explains that he was not peaking so muoli as to the theory of Syndicalism as that of a general strike. "I did not say that strikes iwere never justified," said Mr Hughes, "but, broadly, that rarely, if ever, were they the best way of obtaining redress, and certainly they ,were not a Substitute for poMttcal action. My .remarks referred particularly to the extraordinary tendency of factions intside urikme .to disregard- the decision of majorities." '
(At the gathering Mr Hughes said that Syndicalism was a grea danger to unionism.. It was merely anarchy. The foundation of unionism was the nuile of the majority. Unionism today was as near the goal as ever it 'had been.)
