cap. I] THE COMMONWEALTH OF AUSTRALIA 865 (e) The Referenda of 1911 As the result of the unsatisfactory position as to the powers of the Commonwealth Parliament the Labour Government secured the passing through the Commonwealth Parliament of two Bills which, had they been accepted at the referendum on April 26, would have given to the Parliament of the Commonwealth all necessary power to deal with questions affecting trade and labour conditions. Tt was proposed by the first Bill, the Constitution Alteration (Legislative Powers) Bill, 1910, to amend s. 51 of the Constitu- tion by omitting from paragraph (i) the words * with other countries and among the states’, thus giving to the Parlia- ment full power to deal with trade and commerce throughout the Commonwealth, and by inserting as a new paragraph xx, in place of the old paragraph which ran ‘ Foreign corpora- tions, and trading or financial corporations formed within the limits of the Commonwealth’, the new clauses already cited which extend the powers of the Parliament as to (a) the creation, dissolution, regulation, and control of Common- wealth corporations; and as to state and foreign cor- porations.! The old paragraph xxxv of s. 51 of the Constitution was to be altered by omitting the words ‘ Conciliation and Arbitra- tion for the prevention and settlement of industrial disputes extending beyond the limits of any one state’, and inserting in their place the words ‘ Labour and employment including (@) the wages and conditions of labour and employment in any trade, industry, or calling, and (b) the prevention and settlement of industrial disputes, including disputes in Vine, Fruit, and Vegetable Protection Act, 1885 (No. 345). Cf. also the Tasmania Act No. 5 of 1909 regarding potatoes. Cf. also the dispute against the federal regulation limiting the weight of corn sacks. Victoria Parl. Pap., 1908, No. 21, p. vii. 1 See especially Parliamentary Debates, 1910, pp. 4676 seq, 4801 seq, 1912 seq., 5014 seq., 5185 seq., 5294 seq., 5395 seq., 6170 seq. For a oriti- sism, cf, Turner, Australian Commonwealth, pp. 297 seq. The Australian newspapers from March to April are full of discussions regarding the Bills. Cf. Keith, Journ. Soc. Comp. Leg., xii. 119, 120. 1979°9
