The Government Guzette publishes the draft of a Bill designed to make strikes illegal in certain cases, and generally to control the oganisation of local trade unions and their manner of being conducted.
Called for short "The legal Strikes Ordinance," the proposed enactment, which is shortly to be brought up in the Legislative Coun-
en is based on the English trade union Bill, and the "objects and reasons" declare that the main object is "to arm the Colony against strikes, like the general strikes of 1922 and 1925, which are designed or calculated to coerce the Government by inflicting hardship upon the community,”.
Provision is made against intimidation, against breaches of contracts for service in the essential services, the use of trade union funds for politicni purposes, and the dominance of a focal union Persons refusing to by some organisation outside the Colony. take part in any legal strike are fully protected.
