NEWS OF THE WEEK
DEEP interest, mingled with anxiety, though all that is happening is behind the scenes at present, is being taken in Parliament about the Private Member's Bill for dealing with the political levy in the trade unions. The Bill is to be introduced by Mr. Macquisten on March 6th. The supporters of the Bill hope that the Government will give special facilities for the later stages, but the Times states that some of the leading members of the Cabinet dislike the idea of the Government taking any such course. We are profoundly _convinced that the objectors are wise. We are glad to see that severarUnionist MeMberS have announced their intention of supporting the motion for the rejection of the Bill. We publish this week a leading article on the subject which states our opinions in detail. • *
