PUBLICATION DEPLORED
<By Telegraph—Press Association—Copyright.) Rec. 9 a.m. SYDNEY, December 20.
When the State Industrial Commission met today to give further consideration to the appeal by D. Parker, the President, Mr. Justice Taylor, referred to the publication of the report that suggestions were made privately by the Commission yesterday to end the steel works strike.
Mr. Justice Taylor said: "Publication by the Press of the conference discussions has seriously embaiTassed the Commission in this matter, and has rendered very remote the prospects of conciliation between the parties. It is obvious that if such matters are disclosed to the Press the functions of the Commission in conciliation will be gravely hampered in future.
''The statement which has been published is misleading. It is hot a fair or accurate account of what transpired, and we deplore its publication."
The case, in which Parker is appealing against the determination of Mr. Justice Cantor upholding the right of the Broken Hill firm to dismiss him for not carrying out what they claimed was a reasonable order, is now proceeding.
