PARLIAMENT.

House of Representatives.

i Wellington, Sept 29 j The House resumed at 7.30 p.m. j ACCIDENT INSUBANCE BILT,. j ! The amendments made by the Legislative! . Council in the Accident Insurance Com- j : panics Bill were agreed to. i IMPORTATION OF POISONS. j I Mr Mills moved the second reading of j the Poisons Importation and Carriage Bill, j '. Ho explained that the Bill provided that, j ''. notwithstanding anything in the principal , j Act, it shall be lawful to import or send to j j any port or place in New Zealand sheep ! dip in powder, although containing arsenio | «>r compounds of arsenic, if securely packed ! in wooden boxes. j The second reading was agreed to on the voices, COMPILATION OF STATUTES. It was decided to concur with the resolu tion passed by the Legislative Council in '■ structing the Solicitor-General to compile (under the Statutes Compilation Act pas sed this session), the Education Act, 1877, Licensing Act 1881, and Municipal Corpora tions Act, 1900, with their respective amendments. RAILWAY SUPERANNUATION. When the amendments made by the Leg islative Council in the Government .Kail ways Superannuation Fund Bill came up for consideration. Mr Pirani asked whether the Legislative Council had not exceeded its right in re ducing the contribntion to be paid by the men, and thus increased the contribution to be paid to the fund by the State. He did this not with the object of imperilling the passage of the Bill, but because he thought the House should jealously guard its privilege?. Sir Maurice O'Rorke said he did not con eider there had been nny encroachment upon the privileges of the House. In reply to questions, Sir J. G. Ward stated that the revenue that would have been derived from the men's contributions in the first year under the scale as fixed by the House was J>25,200, while under the amendments made by the Council it would be .£33,000. He thought it safe to accept this. Objection was taken to the action of the Council in striking out the proviso to clause 14, to the effect that if the bust ness of any railway company is taken over by the Department, the continuous service in the employ of such company of any contribution shall be deemed to be service in the Department, yOn the other hand, it was pointed out that the Government employees now in the service would begin to contribute to the fund at oncf\ whereas employees of any private company would be able to come in after a lapse of years, and secure the increased benefits of the fund. After some discussion, it was de cided, on Sir Joseph Ward's motion, to disagree with all the amendments made in the Bill, and a conference was set up to consider the points in dispute between the two Houses. BILLS PASSED. The Victoria College Site Bill and Poisons Importation and carriage Amend ment Bill passed their final stages. PUBLIC WORKS BILL. Mr Hall-Jones moved the second reading of the 'Public Works Bill. He explained that its chief provision dealt with the width of streets which had been formed for a long time, and were less than 66 feet in width. It provided that in the event of a subdivision of land abutting on a narrow street, the buildings should be set back a distance 33 feat from the centre of the road, j Many might object to the provision requir ing the consent of the Minister of Lands in such cases, instead of that of the local authority, but he defended this as the better course. A long debate ensued, in the course of which several members urged that the Bill was of such importance that it ought to bo i held over until the next session, when it could ho dealt with with greater delibera tion than was possible at present. j Mr Hall-Jones, in replying, said his • idea was that compensation should be paid j for every inch of land taken, and he.would i vote iv that direction.

I The second reading was agreed to on the ! voices. j WOIIKEBS' COMPENSATfON' Mr Hall .Tones moved tho committal of . the Workers' Compensation for Accidents ! Act Amendment Bill. He said there ap : peared to be a gonoral fueling amen"- tln> i farming community that agricultural la i botirers came under the operation of the . Act, and as a result the agricultural la j Lourers were generally insured. This act specifically included agricultural labourers, ! and so set at rest all doubts on the point. With regard to the other provisions of the ' Bill, he explained that if a man met with an accident and was not incapacitated for more than fourteen days, he did not come under the Act, but if incapacity extended beyond fourteen days he was entitled to compensation from the date of the com mencement of his incapacity. Mr Massey complained that the proposed clause was not on the same lines as the Im perial Act on the same subject. The far mers wen> quite prepared to come under the Act, but they objected to being placed in a worse position than the British far mers, with whom they had to compete. Mr McNab, in answering tho objections to claims for compensation taking prece dence over mortgages, said if they did not have that provision a man had only to work with a mortgage to get quit of the priority, I and therefore of tho liability. Almost unanimous approval was expressed of the proposal to bring agricultural labourers within the scope of the Act, and the motion was agreed to on the voices. On going into Committee on the Bill, Messrs Massey, James Allen, and others urged that the Government should agree to an adjournment, and protested against the practice of legislation by exhaustion. The motion to report progress was lost by 30 to 15. Mr James Allen tlien moved that the Chairman leave the chair, and a lengthy discussion ensued, the Opposition con tinuing to protest against the late sitting. Eventually at 5.10, Mr Allen withdrew his motion, on the undsrstauding that the first three clauses of the Bill should be passed and a new clause shou'd be brought down by the Minister at the next sitting. . This arrangement was cariied out, the first three clauses of the Bill were agreed to unaltered, and, on Mr Hall-Jones' motion, progress was reported, and the House rose at 5.25 a.m.
