HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES.

Wellington, October 17 The House met at 2.30 pm, THE LIQUOR BILL The Alcoholic Liquors Sale Control Act Amendment Bill was received from the Legislative Council with amendments The Premier said that no one regretted more than he did -he greab difference of opinion that existed between the two branches of th© legislature on the Bill Seeing that the Bill has been unanimously passed by this House, he thought that the only course which he could pursue was to j ask the House to refuse to agree with any of the amendments made by the Council. He therefore moved to that effect and that the Premier, Mr McNab, Mr Meredith, and Mr Mi.tchelson be appointed a Com mittee to draw up reasons for disagreeing. He thought thab this was a fair selection Mr G. Hutchison said that if these gen. tleman were to meeb the Council as repre senting the House, the Premier was tak ing the besb step to prevent a compromise being effected this session Mr W. Hutchison asked whether lb was not nseleps to appoint a Conference at this stage of tit©session (The Premier—No ) He thought that the House ought to refuse to have anything* more to do with the Bill this session, and he moved as an amend ment' That no further action be taken this session,

Mr G, J. Smith seconded the amend ment. He complained that only mem< bers of moderate views had been selected on the Coimmtbee. In making this election the Premier had placed an insult npon a large section of the public of New Zealand. Sir Robert Stout had taken a very keen interest in this question, and yet he had been utterly ignored. He (Mr Smith) did not think that a Conference ought to be held, and the House would be best consulting its dignity hy refusing to have anything to do with the Bill this session

Mr Montgomery aaid that Mr MeNab had as much right to represent; the tem perance party as Sir Robert Stout had Mr Maslln said that there was no use going into the Bill again thi_ session MrEarnshawsaid that the amendmentshad been oarried in the Council by such large majorities, as to ensure that no compromise could be arrived at, Tho liquor interest had tho advantage on tha Committee proposed by the Premier The Premier deprecated the inflj.mm.a tory and abusive speeches which had b«en roade that afternoon. Such utterances would do no good, and would only weaken the position of the House in the matter. Hs defended his selection of the Com mittee, and said that when the time came for a b.ttl. royal with the other Chamber on the question he would put forward hi. strongest fores to m..intain the position of the Hous.. It would show a sign of weakness to adop. tha course suggested in the amendment Sir Robert Stout spoke In support of the amendment. The House shonld take the bold step now of declining to appoint a Conference, and should tackle the question afresh eaily next session Mr Reeves thought that nothing would be gained by Irritating the other Chamber and treatin? them with discourtesy, and ifc was not in the interesc of the Bill to refuse to appoint a Conference The Hon Mr McKenzie said that the Government had no objection to putting Sir Robert Stout on tha Committee After farther lengthy discussion, Mr W. Hutchison's amendment was lost by 46 to 12, and it was decided to disagree with all the amendments The Hon Mr MoEerzie moved the names of the Committee to draw up reasons, including the name of Sir Robert Stout in tha number

Sir Robert Strut declined to act Mr MoKenzie moved that the Premier, Mr Mitchelson, Mr McNab, and Mr Meredith beappointei a Committee The motion was agreed to on the voices THE STOCK BILL The amendments made by the Legis lative Council in the Stock Act Amend ment Bill wer<3 agreed to lAMB FOE SETTLEMENTS BILL It was decided, on the m >tiun of the Minister of Lands, to disagree with the amendment made by the Legislative Council in Clause 3 of the Land for Settlements Act. The Council by 'his amendment had struck the District Land Registrar off the Lands Purchase Board A Committee was appointed to draw up reasons for disagreeidg The' House rose at 5.30 p m. The House resumed at 7-3'J p.m. MINING* bill The Mining Bill was considered in Committee Clause 3 was amended after a long dis cussion, to provide that no person shall hold more than three prospecting licenses Clause 16 was amended after a long discussion to provide that forfeiture of claims could be made in the case of a claim not being held for bona fide use for which the license was issued, the work of such claim to be carried on with reason able diligence The Bill was reported with amend ments and put through its final stages. THE JPT7BLIC WORKS STATEMENT- The Premier announced that owing to the proposed reductions in tye Public Works Estimate being of ouch a drastic nature the figures would not be ready by to-morrow night, and he would not there fore be able to bring down the Public Works Statement before Monday even ing.

SHOPS AHI) SHOP ASSISTANTS. In moving the committal of the Shops and Shop Assistants Bill, Mr Reeve 3ex plained that the measure would enable those places which had selected Saturday for the half-holiday to change tho day if they so desired within one oion'h of the losing of the Act, The Bill also abolished the whole of the exemptions put into last year's Act by the Legislative Council, and he might add that the whole of the trouble caused by the administra tion of the Act: was due to the alterations \ made by the Uppey Etov.se. 'Ihe Bill also itefadved the inomaly in regard to com pulsory closing when another holiday occurred in the same week, and allowed shops in the country districts to keep open during harvest timo for the sale of harvesting machinery.' A provision waa Inserted providing that cases under the Act could npb be heard by Justices of t}ie Peace, and must go before Stipendiary Magistrates Bir Robert Stout s&id that in Committee he woald move an amendmont to plae? hotel bars on the tame footing u-.der the Act as shops. The only way to settle the shops half-holiday question, was to make Sunday beqiiv.afc 1 p.m. on Saturday After a six rt debate the committal of th 9 Bill was agreed to Qltwi, providing that the proceedings

Stout moved an 1 amendment to place hotel bars on the same footing as shop., under the Act No discus.ion took place on the amend ment, which was carried by 30 to 27 The following is the division list: — Ayes (30) -Allen, Bell, Buddo, Buick, Camell, Earnshaw, Flatman, Green, H 11- Jones, Joyce, Kelly J W, Lang, Mac kenzie T, Maslln, Massey, McNab, Mere dith, Millar, Mitchelson, Montgomery, Morrison, Newman, O'Regan, Pirani, Russell G W.

Stevens, Thompson T, Willis Pairs.—Ayes—Heke, McGuire. Nobs —Larnach, Ward A few other amendments were made in the clause Sir R. Stout strongly objected to clause 15, and it was struck out by 32 to 21 Mr J. W. Kelly moved a new clause to the effect that on petition frorr a majority of shopkeepers, the Minister should issue a proclamation ordering shops to close at nino o'clock on Saturday evenings The clause was rejected by 28 to 23 Mr Hall-Jones moved a new clause to allow offices to close on other days than Saturday The clause was agreed to on the voices Mr G. W. Russell moved a new clause to bring offices in the public service under the Act in the same way as private offices Lost, by 37 to 12 The Bill waa reported with amend ments, which were agreed to, and put through its final stages The House rose at 1 25 a.m. ,
