PARLIAMENT.

Wellington, November 1 The Council resumed at 7*30. The debate on tha motion for the com* mSbbal of tha Factories Bill was continued, A desultory debate ensued till 12.15 a.m., when the cloaure was applied on fchs motion of Mr Lee Smith, which forced a division on the previous motion to report progress and %sk leave to sib again, ■ Thie waß carried oa the rolcee. The Council passed an addreßS of congratu' iaiiuo to th« King on the eafs return to i- ng'atid of the Duke and Dachess of Cornwall The Connoil adj >urned at 12.25 a.m. till 11 a.m.

Wellington, Nov 2 The Ooancil met at 11 a.m The Factories Bill was farther consider* ed in Committee.

The minimum annual Increase in the .weekly wages of boy and girl apprentices w»8 raised from two to three shillings, and the clause was carried by 18 to 4

At clause 31, n proviso w*a added, on Mr Jennings' motion, to the effeab that nothing In the Act shall prevent persona being employed on one evening of th.9 week { xcluding Saturday) for the purpose of printing and publishing a weekly newspaper.

The Council rose till 7 30 Wellington, Nov 1

The House met at 2.30

Mr Bollard was granted leave of abaercj for the remainder of the session on account of urgent private business.

Captain Russell asked the Premier to state what business he proposed going on with before the session oloaed.

Mr Seddon said ha would make an an noupoemenb on the subj ;ch on Monday night, Sir Joseph Ward moved tho second reading of the Government) Railways Department Classification Bill.

Mr Seddon moved a resolution conveying an address to tho Kins:, congratulating him on the ante return to Eugland of the Duke and Duchess of Cornwall.

Several members olj oted to wbaft was described us i he fulsome terms of the address.

Mr Pir*ni moved that a part of the resolution be a'ruck out.

This was lost, after considerable cikcas' sion, by 27 votes to 17, and the resolution as brought) down by the Premier, was agreed to on the vofoeF.

The House rose at 6.5 p m

The House resumed at 7 30 p m The first business was the consideration of the amendments by the Council in tho Con* ei'htion and Arbitration Act Amendment Bill.

Mr Seddon said, in view of tha aotlnn of the Council in sustaining the provision that either party could go direct) to the Arbitra 1 tion Court, thin practically doing away with Conciliation Boards, while he greatly regretted such action, the Government had dec:ded as tha beat of several oaurse? which they oouid take, to allow the measure to go as returned to the House, and give ib a trial until next session. If ib was then found that it waß nofc working satisfactorily, it oould he amended, Ho moved, under protest, thab tho amendments made by the Council be approved. The amendments were a serious departure fr^m the policy of the Gavernmenb but he hoped those interested in labour ■li»putea would mt ignore Conciliation Boards, but would endeavour to preserve that important feature of settling industrial diepr.tos.

Mr G J Smith entered a protest against the speech of the Premier, which, he said, w&o calculated to stir strife, and wh:oh he said was dimply au appeal to the labour organisations in viow of tho tpproaohing eleo'ions. He believed the amendments «fould oonduoe to the better working of the Act, and to the pacification of industrial disputes.

A sharp debate followed, and the Pre mier's motion to agree with the Council's amendments in the Bill was agreed to on the voices'.

The Maori Lands Administration Act Amendment Bill was further considered in Committee.

In the course of a leogthly discussion whioh took place on the motion to report progrees,

Mr Kaihau said that the Premier and Native Minister bad given him a straight forward promise that the Aob of last session would not be brought) into operation ia tho western Maori district until the boundaries were fixed* Ho therefore withdrew bis opposition to the Bill.

Mr AL D Fraser made a strong appeal that the Act should not be brought into operation until a majority of the native owners in the diotrfct agreed to it. The motion to reporb progress was lost by 38 votes to 15.

The Government; Railways Department Classification Bill passed through committee practically without amendment, and afe 8.55 the House adjourned till 10 am,
