PARKER APPEAL CASE
PUBLICATION OF DISCUSSIONS REGRETTED SYDNEY. Dec. 20. When the State Industrial Commission met to-day to give further consideration to the appeal by D. Parker, the president, Mr Justice Taylor, referred to the publication of a report that suggestions were made privately by the commission yesterday to end the steel works strike. Mr Justice Taylor said: “ The publication by the Press of conference discussions has seriously embarrassed 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 the future. The statement which has been published is misleading. It is not a fair or accurate account of what transpired, and wo deplore its publication.”
The case in which Parker is appealing against the determination of Mr Justice Cantor in upholding the right of his firm to dismiss him for not carrying out what they claimed was a reasonable order, is now proceeding.
