MR. PRESTON'S BILL.
Mr. Preston (South Brant) moved
the Second reading of ti3e bill to
amend the Act respecting. Councils
of. Conciliation and Arbitration. He
said his bill had the approval of
the Executive of the, Dominion Trades
and Labor Council. Whatever the
feasibility Of Cempideory arbitratiou
in New Zealand-a.nd there was some
disPute tia to the measure of its suc-
Cess there -there w,as no likelihood
that that method of settling Indus- ,
trial troubles would become gene
eral. The object of his bill was to
Provide a speedy means of reachiog
coociliation ; that the registrar or
the secretary of the Bureau of Labor
of the province should be empowered
at the request of the Mayor fir Reeve
o any neunicipa ty which a
strike or lock -out has occured, or
at the request of any five of the
employees, or of the employer inter-
ested, to proceed at once to the
scene of the difficulty and offer his
services. Ile thought • this would
make the Act more Workable. There
was an additional clause, -which em-
powered the registrar to seek to
promote the formation of Boards. of
Conciliation and Arbitration be-
tween employers and employed
O
thod of settling disputes had long
prevailed in -Great Britain with sat-
isfactory results.
The bill was given a second read-
ing and went to cemmittee.
SECOND READINGS.

Marter's bill to amend the Voters'

towns and villages; and•Mr. Smith's
bill to enable inunicipalittes to fix
a rate of asseesment for a terna not
exceeding five years on farm lands in
towns and villages.
Mr. Mutrie (South Wellington) in-
troduced a bill to permit the Coun-
cils of reral municipalities to coo -
street sewees on a system' of local
assessment. It proVides that the
rate shall be levied. by. a special .as-

the statute 28 lionry VIII., chapter •
17, setting forth the prohibited de-
grees, had been repealed, and that
there were now no prehibited de-
grees in Ontario, The Attorney -Gen-
eral remarked that the numerous
marriages of King Henry had render-
ed necessary legislation on the sub-
ject leom time tO ttine, but the
House of Lords. had concluded that
whether the statute in questiatt was
revived or not, they still had to re-
fer to it for a conveoient declEira-
tion • of Levitical degrees ef con-
sanguinity, because by on Act passed
in the same year, and a subsegnent
jAct•in 32 Henry VIII., all ruarrie.ges

ed by God's law. To find the de-
'grees of consanguinity as set out in

been made, and for that: purpoee it
was substantially still in force. '

' would be repealed by the revision.
The coMpilatioh was sobject to eice

not affect the present law on any of
the subjects dealt with. • He sug-
gested that whoever fanned the. Goy-
.ernment of the day When the next re-
vision took place would take care to
include in the revision the reference
to those old historic Aets. .
