vast knowledge of detail about naval

being a strict taskmaster.

unable to sleep one night. He arose,
dressed. left his quarters and walked
down to one OF the gun shops. AL
though three shifts are needed to dis.

on hand there was little doing.
Capt. Leutze's sharp eye detected q

oblivious to all surroundings. when

piled: We'll, guess It's Dennis"

THE Australian Commonwealth is

is possible that with the responsible
ity placed upon them will come con
servatism. You see there are three
parties with us and the labor party
managed to squeeze in between the
protectionIsts on the one side and the
free traders on the other.
Labor unions are placed on a dlf-
ferent footing in our country from
what they are here. and I think It is
an Improvement They are made re-
sponsible parties and the government
and employers of labor are In posi-
ton to make them pay damages. We
have compulsory arbitration law. as
you know. but before union can
bring a case before the board of ar
bltration it-has to register. So far the
labor side has won In the disputes
brought before the board. An eight
hour day is the rule there, but does
not appear to be satisfactory. and n
movement is on foot for a general six
hour day; we are ahead OF this coun-
try In that respect The labor party
tried to take this question before the
arbitration commission. but that body
would not take Jurisdiction and held
that IT was a matter for parliament to
