Australian Unions
Benefit Industry
Asserts Minister
G.. $. Becky, of New Sousl,
Wales, Here on Tour, Says
Laboritcs Lost Power Be-
cause of Radical Trend

O. :. Becky. Minister for Labor and
Industry and Associate Commissioner
of the Board of Trade, of New South
Wales, is in New York to remain for
several days before leaving on trip
through the country to visit large in
dustrial centres Mr. Becky is here
to study industrial conditions and upon
his return to Australia will report his
Investigations to his governments
Discussing labor problems in Aus
tralia. Mr.. BECKY said that employers
do not resist trades union activities.
On the contrary, they accept both
unloniSm and collective bargaining as
established institutions by which in
dustrial peace between employer and
worker Is maintained. In some in
stances collective bargaining, he
thought. has had its disadvantages
but on the whole the general tendency
of reputable employers in Australia is
to deal directly with organized Labor.
Employers in Australia find it much
better to deal with a collective body
than with those workers who have no
organization at all
New South Wales has recently passed
legislation under which unions are
recognized as corporate bodies with
privileges and sponsibilities. Although
strikes are legalzed in Australia,
strikes without notice and without the
union first taking a vote to strike
carry a heavy penalty against the funds
of the unions. The general policy of
the government, however. is not
against unionism but for the control
and regulation of union activities
The arbitration machinery of Aus
tralia," said Mr. Beeby, "has resulted
IN the quickest settlement of strikes.
Strikes are never accompanied with
disorder or destruction of property. In
1917 the greatest strike in the history
of the Commonwealth. which arose
from political and not an industrial
issue, was taken in hand by the gov
eminent. The forces of law and order
we're organized by the government and
the strikers were utterly defeated. But
during that period no property was
damaged and only one life was lost.
It is true that we have our full share
of strikes but they Gre generally set
tied very quickly by the use of the
machinery for Cancellation and arbi-
tration which has been created by law
"The only industry where the strike
is serious matter is in coal mining
and in the production of silver, lead
and among the longshoremen. How
ever, for the last fifteen years or more,
no strike has been called even in these
industries. In every case the trouble
was settled by arbitration
Mn. Becky said that heretofore Aus
tralan labor has been more active poll
tically than industrally. He added that
industrally labor is not half as turbu-
lent as in some parts of the United
States.
"Originally labor parties did not
represent revolutionary ideas. They
were merely the radical party in
Australian politics. But during the
war the /. ". W. influence resulted in
change in the aspirations of the party.

CONFLICTING IDEAS

To say that the war sprang from
the desire OF Austria-Hungary to
oppress Serbia, or from the con-
ficting ambitions Of Russia and
Germany in Southeastern Europe. or
from commercial rivalry between
Germany and Great Britain. is sim
ply to delude oneself with super
fcial appearances. 1t is case OF
camouflage. The cause OF the war
and the reason that the war was in
evitable las we can now see) Is a
conflict Of ideals in the life OF the
world. II is clear now that the old
notion OF world-dominating power
was not dead. This was the notion
which sent Alexander the Great and
his army into Asia. This was the
nation which took possession Of the
mind OF Charlemagne. This was
the notion which harnessed to its
service the dynamic energy and the
military genius OF Napoleon Bona
parte. This notion was not, as men
generally thought in 1914. dead and
gone and a matter for the historian
alone. 1t was first slumbering and
then taking active form in the minds
OF the ruling caste OF the German
empire. With them it was based
upon a philosophy OF history and OF
life which made the German people
like the Hebrews Of old. the chosen
partners OF God himself in the sub
lection and civilization OF the world
When this notion took possession
OF so powerful, so active-minded
and highly disciplined people as
the Germans, it became only ques-
ton OF time when 1t must find itseli
in a life and death struggle with
the opposing principle. This is tht
dominating fact which stands out
above and beyond all particular ex
plantations OF the origin Of the war
The war is at bottom a final strug
gle between the principle OF world
domination and the principle OF &
group Of friendly, cooperating ma
tions, all equal in sovereignty and il
dignity in the eye of the world
law, however varied they may be il
