LUCKY BACHELORS.
Benefits From Basic Wage
Principle.
LABOUR'S DEAD END.
" (Received 10.30 a.m.)
SYDNEY, this day.
During the hearing of the claim by the Merchant Service Guild before the Commonwealth Arbitration Court, Judge Detheridge, commenting on the principle of the basic wage, said it was recognised that a basic wage gave a oarc living to a married man with three children. Single men lived well at the married man's expense, but uproar would arise if unmarried men were deprived of part of their pay to meet the position. Thus an industrial legal cul-de-sac had been created.
