Federal Members Threat.


BRISBANE, July 2S.-Mr. Bamford,
NJ. H. R., stated today that he had re-
ceived a telegram from a leading union
official in the north, stating that there
were good prospects of an early set
tlement Of the sugar strike. The re-
fusal to grant fair working conditions
in q highly-protected industry had Gre
ated resentment among the federal
labor members, and it was probable
that the federal government would
take such action as would prevent the
recurrence of such industrial strife.
Mr. Pritchard, secretary OF the A. S.
p. A., stated this afternoon that the
conditions that Mr.. Bamford COM
planned of were laid down by the fed
eral government. The later had no
authority to exercise the power of reg
uating working conditions, so that
there was no need to fear Mr.. BAN
iOrd's threat.

the wages Of unshlled laborers en-
ployed constantly for five to six
mouths. 1t is Of interest to note here
that the commonwealth regulations
prescribe a minimum Of $S.7j per
week
with regard to the men employed
in the mills, it was apparent at once
that the object sought was not the re-
drctiop of the hours worked, but the
payment of overtime, and, indeed, in
a cartoon issued the other day by the
Queensland Worker, this object was
rlainly admitted The strike organic
ers knew well that, apart altogether
from the question Of an eight-hour day
in a country factory, no mill had ac-
commodation for the large additional
number of employees needed under
This system. and further that as this
accommodation had to conform to gov
! eminent regulations it could not be
improvised.
Then, about the wages and hours
of the mill hands | am not aware that
the minister has anywhere pointed
out in the general division these have
lately been fixed by law, and in the
other districts the conditions deter
mined by the Wages Board which
dealt with the matter have been ac-
cepted as the standard There is no
doubt at all as to the pay being ade-
ouate for the work, and in confrma-
ton of this statement it can be said
that. in terms of the award, the aver
age wage paid by us in the mill, eX-
Guiding all mechanics, is $ll.5O per
week, with overtime when earned.
And this position is clearly understood
here. for, despite the militant tactics
emrloyed by those directing the
strike, there has been no difficulty
in obtaining suitable men prepared to
serve for the season on the terms fixed
by the Wages Board. Indeed, many
hundreds of men have gone to the
north in the past few weeks under
such engagement, and those offering
row are superior to the first appll-
cants, who were sent when the strike
broke out.
And does the acting prime minister
really mean that he will advocate the
cancellation of the present protection
because the owners of, say, one-eightf
of the capital invested in sugar pro
duction in Queensland stand for theil
rights under the law? He should know
that the growers are all independent
that we have no interest in any fac
tory but the six we own; that tn
bounty given by the commonwealth
out of the excise duty laid goes direc
to the grower of the cane, and that
is quite impossible for us to get NOR
for our produce than the cost of sim
lar sugars imported from Hongkong
yet he will not have the slightes
hesitation in repeating the duty at tn
earliest possible moment / thinl
that the hard-headed men who grow
the cane and make the sugar il

The Humorous Outcome.
U,ewiston Journal.)


Hon. Cyrus w. Davis, secretary of
State. seems to be between the devil
and the deep sea in regard to his office
and his newspaper. 1t will be remem-
bered that the Waterville Sentinel
Publishing Company was the lowest
bidder for a large portion of the State
printing The law which has been
called to the attention of the secre-
tary of State and of Gov. Plaisted
provides that no person holding
place of trust in any State office or
public institution shall be pecuniariiy
interested directly or indirectly in any
contract made in behalf of the State
or of the Institution in which he holds
such place of trust and any contract
made in violation thereof, is void
This seems to hit Mr.. Davis exactly
where ne lives, for he is holding a
place of trust N State office, or
unless he can show TO the contrary, he
is directly or indirectly interested in
the Waterville Sentinel Publishing
Company which would profit by the
State printing contract. Governor
Plaisted has not yet signed the con-
tract for the State printing with the
Sentinel Publishing company. He,
therefore. refuses to permit a public
inspection of the same. 1t is not pre-
dicted that he will not sign it. The
publicity arising from the incident is
already wide How Mr.. Davis can
avoid responsibility on either hand re
mains to be seen. 1t is a somewhat in
teresting and in a certain respect,
somewhat humorous outcome OF Mr.
Davis's lifelong struggle for office.
