MELBOURNE, Oct. 1.-Premier
Hughes during discussion of the i'm
perial conference at London in the

Won't BE Represented.
ITO talk about disarmament is
idle unless the causes of naval ar
maments are removed, and il is i'm
possible to discuss disarmaments
without raising the principal phases
of the Pacific question. Australia
will not be represented directly at
the conference at which. IL the Pa
cific problem is seriously discussed,
questions vital to its welfare will
be discussed and possibly settled.
There is no hope for disarma-
ment unless the Pacific problem is
settled. and this only can be done
through a modus vivendi satisfac-
tory to Japan, America and Aus
tralia. The peace of the Pacific
means more to Australia than TO
any nation. and until the causes of
war have been removed talk about
peace is only beating the air"

Nelson's attack came during con-

a hot reply from Senator Hefiin, of
Alabama.
I'm getting tired of these
threats" declared Nelson. referring
to the strike vote of the railway
trainmen. 81 do not know but that
it would be a good time for the

should start a strike. Let the

1t is time that We taught these

Nelson laid the delay in indus
trial revival in the country to the
attitude of organized labor in re-
fusing to come down to reasonable
wages and a reasonable basis of
employment" For this reason. he
said millions of men who might be
working are idle.
In the case of present transpor-
tation the railroads are unable to
reduce the rates because of the
high cost of operating arising from
the excessive wages which their
operatives demand on the same
scale tha- they were accustomed
to receive during the war" he said.
Says Rates Handicap Farmers.
Nelson declared that continued
high freight rates would mean fall

tinued handicap on the farmers.
He declared the building trades
are retarding building by wage de-
mands. He said that bricklayers
were receiving as high as SIS a day
when they should not be paid more
than IS.
Senator Hefiin. of Alabama, re-
plying to Nelson said that labor
should not be deprived of the right
to strike unless capital is deprived
of the right to reduce labor's pay

that the Republica nparty was
