(Received Sept. 6, 11.50 a.m.) Melbouene, September 6 The action by seamen to recover wages when they had left vessels before 24 hours' notice expired was dismissed. The case will probably be taken to the Appeal Court, and made a test one. The Strike Committee state the case , of the laborers is very desperate. This J is the greatest battle they have ever had, but employers are better prepared than the Unions, and the latter urgently need funds. If money is iorthcoming the Unions may be confi dent of winning. It has been decided to convene an Intercolonial Conference of Trades Councils immediately, and make one more overture to employers to hold a Conference. If this is not accepted the onus of continuing the struggle will be thrown on the masters. Brisbane, September 6.

HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES.

at its rising adjourn till to-morrow (Satur day) at 2.30 for the consideration of the Federation proposals. The motion was carried by 39 to 34. i THE STRIKE. ! Mr Fish m asking a question regarding the action of the Railway Commissioners m having called on the platelayers to load and handle goods on the wharves spoke strongly on the necessity for the Commis sioners staying their hands at present, and said that if unhappily a general rail way strike occurred through the action of the Commissioners, the curse of every man, woman, and child m the colony would rest on those who caused it. Mr Mitchelson would not reply to Mr Fish's remarks beyond saying that the Government had no right to interfere with the Commissioners m their railway management as those officers had been appointed by the House. It was the duty of the Commissioners to convey goods for the public, and m the present case it happened that they undertook to carry goods from Christchurch to Lyttelton and see that they were placed on board ships at that port. Replying to Mr Joyce, Mr Mitchelaon said that the Government did not intend this session to introduce a Bill by which it should be unlawful for any shipping or commercial company trading m New Zea land to be associated with any other company beyond New Zealand m pro ducing such paralysis of trade as was now existing m the colony. NATIONALISATION OF THE COAL MINES. In reply to Mr Feldwick, Mr Mitchelson said that the Government had not at present under consideration any scheme for the nationalisation of the coal mines of the colony, but as it was such a arge question they would fully consider it during the recess. THE PRIMAGE DUTY AND THE STRIKE. Mr Mitchelson said that m accordance with a promise he had made to the House he now desired to say that he intended to introduce a bill, providing for the inf position of the primage duty to the 30th September. He also thought it necessaiy to state that owing to the unhappy struggle now going on m the colony the Government considered it quite probable that they would have to meet the House with a deficit next year. In reply to Mr liallance he said that it was impossible to estimate the loss m revenue at present, as it depended alto gether on the length of the strike. COMMITTEE OF SUPPLY. The House then went into Committee of Supply. The few remaining items m the Public Works Estimates were passed as printed. THE NATIVE LAND LAW AMENDMENT BILL. Mr Mitchelson moved the second read ing of the Native Land Law Amendment Bill, which was brought m to remedy certain defects m the existing law. Mr Hutchison said that the Bill con tained some provisions which would render it extremely likely that it would not pass this session unless members were prepared to remain m the House much longer than was intended. The debate was interrupted by the 5.30 adjournment. The House resumed at 7.30 p.m. The second reading of the Bill was agreed to on the voices. SECOND BEADING. The Railways Construction Amendment Bill which gives power to private railway companies to acquire land for railway con struction purposes m the same way as the Government now do under the Pnblc Works Act, and the Whangarei Land Bill, were read a second time. The Valpy Crown Grant Boundary De finition Bill, the Administration Act Amendment Bill, the Government Life Insurancs Act Amendment Bill, and the Children's Protection Bill was also read second time. THE SHEEP BILL. The amendments made by the Legisla tive Council m the Sheep Bill were agreed to with the exception of clause 74, which provided for earmarks being made by a punch, upon the petition of a majority of sheepowners m a district re presenting ownership of two-thirds of the sheep m the district. Managers were ap pointed to confer with those of the Legislative Council on the clause. IN COMMITTEE. The Railway Construction and Land Act Amendment Bill was committed and passed with verbal amendments. The Gold Duty Abolition and Mining Property Rating Bill was considered m committee, and reported with a few verbal amendments. The Crown Grant Boundary Definition Bills and Government Life Insurance Act Amendment Bill were committed without amendment, as also was the Children s Protection Bill. All the Bills were put through Com mittee, reported, read a third time, and passed. The House rose at 1,20 a.m.

The remaining items m the Public Works Department, with the nxception of a few which were left over for further consideration, were passed unaltered, and the House rose at 2.20 a.m. The House met at 2.30 p.m. LEAVE OF ABSENCE. Leave of absence was granted for the remainder of the session to Mr Pyke, on account of ill-health. THE FEDERATION PROPOSALS. ,Mr Mitchelson moved that the House

"That this meeting strongly disap proves of the unwarrantable action of the Maritime Council m calling out labor without any grievance against New Zea land employers, and those present pro mise every support by labor or otherwise to keep the trade of the country from being paralysed." Moved by Mr Harper, seconded by Mr Leadley, and carried. Moved by Mr Friedlander, and seconded by Mr Somerville—"That this meeting desires to express its admiration of the moral courage and determination shown by Mr Stead and others m the prominent part they have taken m carrying on the shipping at Lyttelton during the present crisis, and accords them a well-earned and hearty vote of thanks."

The "Rangitikei Advocate" says :—Bush whackers, m following their calling, often meet with nasty accidents. The mates m these cases always acting m the most loyal, true, and kind manner to the unfortunate sufferers. Two cases of mishaps arrived m town on Saturday. A poor fellow while cutting bush at the side of a stream made an awful gash m the calf of his leg, he was a big man and his mate much smaller. The wounded man could not walk so the little fellow carried his mate seven miles on his back over a rough bush track, he then met another man who helped carry him another eleven miles, the rest was done m a dray, and he is lying at the Red Lion Hotel. Another case was as fol lows :—Thomas Kennerley, while cutting bush some miles beyond Kennedys, missed his stroke m some way and cut a nasty gash m his instep. After washing the wound, it was thought best by these bush surgeons to sew the wound up, and this wounded man m the most plucky way sewed up his own foot and then rode into town, arriving here as stated.
