PREFERENCE TO UNION
REFUSED BY JUDGE BEEBY
TOO MANY STRIKES IN PAST
MELBOTJRNE, 7th March. Judge Beeby in tie Federal Arbitration Court refused : the application; of the "Waterside Workers' Federation for preference for its members;. He fixed the rate for ordinary time at 2s 4d an. hour, which is an increase, of 2-Jd for all States except Queensland, where it is a reduction of 3*4.
Time and again, said Judge Beeby, i this union had abused the preference privilege by striking^ and fhe Court could not now grant preference except as against those employers; who dis-: criminated against unionists, nor could the Court be guided by'political changes;; or the unions' contention! that industrial peace was bound up in granting absolute: preference to unionists*.
