JUDGE RETIRES
Praises System Of Industrial Regulation BENEFIT NOT REALISED Rcc. 10 a.m. SYDNEY, this day. Upon his retirement from the Chief Judgeship of the Commonwealth Arbitration Court. Sir George Beeby said that from the days of his youth he had believed that social progress was evolutionary. "And now I think." he said, "that our system of industrial regulation has proved itself. It has been a powerful agent in the general uplift of social conditions."'
He added that the adoption of the principle of a minimum wage—the line below which there should be no competition in the labour market— had been in itself a great move forward. On this basis there had been evolved a detailed regulation of industry, the full benefit of which was apparently not appreciated by the present generation. ft
