PARLIAMENT.

HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES

Wellington, Oot 29 The House m«t at 2.50 Mr Withefoid presented 197 petitions bearing 4060 signatured praying for more •peed; construction of tha North Island Trorik Railway, North of Auckland. Ths Premier m-^ed to introduce the Food Trusts Bill. Mr Meredith Bald that he opposed the introduction of the Bill aa a protest against the method adopted of introducing co many Baoa>urea towards the o'ose of thq aeGoiou when members ware mentally and physically exhausted, The time had arrived when Members should take a stand in this matter. Mr Ell Bald that he had no obj otion to Bills oomiog down at this late stage of the session if the Premier were prepared to give the House reasonable tima to consider them, The Premier «aid that wai a reasonable request, Mr Piraoi aad Mr ColHqi aeked if another day would be given for loo&l Bills this ieiiion. After further disoassion the Premier said that the BUI had already appeared on the Order Paper under another name. It) was •Imply ft BiU to prevent) the formation of tracts la food stuffs, aad he thought he would have bees able to get it) through the Houbs this session, but if he found there was any great objection to it he would not press ib. It wat>, however, a most important matter, and deserved every coitsideratior. An to local Bills hs would be quite prepared to give (toother opportunty to pass those local Bi His that wore not opposed. Tiie Bill was introduced by 36 votes to 13. and read a first time, ..> In Introduoirg the Workers' Compensation for Accidents Bill, the Premier said tint it vis desired to make the point clear rs to the | application of the Act to agrioulur^l Übonren. He did not propose for a single momeot to go back on existing legislation. 16 w«i intended «imply to inserfc a proviso from the English Act, teliedog fantners from liiiblliiy in respect to threshing msohinei. It: was ceoeasary to clear away the frtotion sad doubb that exited on the point* Mr G W RubsoH said that the Premier had run &way from his guns bocauso of a retolutitio reoiatly parsed by the Fartnera' Uaion at Achburto . He had Bcabtlad away •tad left agricultural labourers out in the ooid.

Mr Millar asked the Premier if ha feteoded to alter the priooipat Act ro give a mortgagee fi>s'j claim in case of accidon!-, Mr Tamaei deolared thai if fihe l^w was to ba giv«n the restricted application pro posed by the Premier the Act might just m wall he off the Statute Book, because •grioaltiiml labourers constituted a large •cation of thß workers cffthe colofiy. He Strongly urged that tha Act should" include agricultural labourer. Mr Hutohesoa urg«d that it was only common honesty to farmers that their posi tion under the Aot should be np?cifiaally defined, Mr Ell declared that the Bill would not go through if it contained a clause to exempt ogrtatilturn! Üboarerp. Mr Buddo and Mr Fiattnan said that they uhoald either have the English Act in its entirely or let things remain ai they are, After farther discussion, the Premier said , *&»t a cause of great dissatiofactioQ ai^ocg^t |

formers w»i the impression that if an sooidenti happened on a thrashing machine which a farmer hud engaged to come on his farm and ! brash bia crops, the farmer was liable tinder the Act, The Knglsh Act made ife clear that the owner of the macbi&e and nob the farmer was liable, aad it waß to make the point clear in the New Zealand Act that this amending Bill was brought down. He had no intention of amending I 6he principal Act bo as to give the mortgagee first claim io c»so cf aoclden% If the Bill was made to include agricultural labourers fc it would never pass the Ligialativa Council. fHo did not intend to deal with c&anal labour, Tbo Bill w»s introduced and read a first time. In introducing the Registration of Birt! a Fxbensioa BilK the Premier said that it waa designed to meet the oases of people who had neglectfd to register the b'rtha of their children within the statutory period. The Bill was read a Brat time. An Imprest cupply BUI for £570,000 was introduced by Governor's message. On the motion to go Into committee on the B 11. Mr Pirani moved, as an amendment that » day should be fteb apart fnr the goo* slderaUoo of Itoil Bills. The diioUßsion was interrnptod by the 5 30 idjoarDtneot, The House resumed at 7 30 p m The Imprest Supply Bill was further con* tiSered;

Mr Pirani's amendment was negatived by t m to 20. Mr Herries s»id that as the Bill provided for £100,000 beiog transferred from the OnsoH&ted Fond to the Pubho Works Fuad he hoped that the House would have an HSturftose from the Government that the main truck railway Hues would ba carrier? oq with more expedition. He also urged that the extra quarter of a million loan granted the previous evening ehould he allocated on the Supplementary Estimates, ftStbeKoueo had ft right to know how the money wa§ to be ipoot. Mr G W Baieell drew attention to the foliar* of three of the workmen's hamlets ne»v Ohrittohnrch, and asked why the Gc vernmetst had Dob selected more euitablo Iftoi for feha purpose The Premier Slid that the Government took no reipoDdbilify !q the matter." The itnd was purchased on the recommendation of the Land Purchase Board Mr Pi rats i Raid that be considered ii> an •xtfftordiuary proceeding to bring down an Imprest Supply Bit! at this stage of the seaiian. Before the Bill waa passed he thought th»t the Colonial Treasurer should issltsg down » rough balance sheet showing the particular purpose* for whiob fche •moanfc wan required and the atote of the colony's fiaanoas After farther discussion, the Bill passed through oomrnittse without amendment, »ad was read a bhird time acd passnd QChe Maori OoQnoila &ob Amendment Bill win received from the Legislative Ooudoll, »ad raati a first time The Amendmanta made by the Legislative Gotfnoil its the True tea Aob Amendment Bill were agreed to At 8 69 the House vyenfc into Commiti<ee of Supply for oonsiderotion o! the Publio Wo?ke Eetimst^B After » long disca*sioD the total vote for railway construotion passed as reduced by £1.

Public buildingir, total vote £207,?5&— Captain RubboH nubmltted that the coet of renflwalHf renovation, aod maintenance should be taken out of the consolidated revaaut s and not charged to capital account. Ho contended that onoe money was trans ferred to ifae Public Works Account it became part of the capital account of the colony. The Hott W Hall Jonas replied that as the public works fund was supplemented by half A million from the consolidated fund It wsu proper that) the vote for ronewale, etc, should appear on tha Pablic Worka B»ti matesi If their was no contribution from revenue he admitted that it would be Improper to charge these renewal items to ths pub'io works fund. The disceesioa wae proceeding when the Telegraph Office closed at S a m. WBIiLiKGTOF, October 30 The diiouesion oa the Pablic Worka Estlmatsß wan resumed. At the vote for harbour defences, £25 000, Mr Millar moved a redaction of £15,000 he thld no less than £427,000 appeared in tl Is year's Estimates for defence, whioh meact eleven shillings per head for every man, woman, and child in the colony, and he arsfed thst the solony could not stand its '■- The Hon Hal!
