Expeditious Hearings Essential.

Lastly, the Act has in practice, and owing to no fault of the Court, been unable to secure that expedition of its operation which, in heated differences between employers and employees, is so desirable.

Time presses me, and I cannot delay to discuss and criticise minor failings, for I desire to make the most important part of this address the third and last part.
